La Masia academy graduate has had a prolific run against Barcelona’s eternal rivals but failed to add to his impressive tally in close to a year.
Ever since he broke out from Barcelona’s youth academy, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 has proved himself as an exceptional talent at the Camp Nou. The pint sized attacker has run away with the Ballon d’Or trophy on the last three occasions and is leading the bookmakers list
for an unprecedented fourth gong.
Messi scored an overwhelming 80 goals in all competitions during the 2011/12 football year for club and country. The diminutive attacker has increased his tally against all and sundry, but has failed to add to his record against Real Madrid.
His last goal for La Blaugrana against their eternal rivals came in their Spanish Super Cup second leg, and has gone four matches against Madrid without hitting the back of the net. His goal two minutes from the final whistle ensured another winner’s medal
for Pep Guardiola’s side.
It has now been 362 minutes in which Messi has not scored a goal when facing Los Blancos. From 13 goals in 11 matches, the Argentine star has an envious record of 13 in 15 matches, but below the established high standards of El Pulga.
As Messi remains anchored in the number, it is giving all sorts of wrong vibes, giving fodder to the superstitions of Les Cules. His last goal he did in the second leg of the Super Cup.
It seems that Real Madrid’s master tactician, Jose Mourinho, has finally found the formula to stop Lionel Messi, the chief architect in the Portuguese’s first visit to the Camp Nou as the Capital club’s head coach.
With Messi starting the season amongst the goals, scoring a well timed brace against Real Sociedad in Barcelona’s La Liga opening fixture, the Argentine captain has shown his intent to break the hoodoo that afflicts his return against Real Madrid.

man’s little playing time in recent seasons.
