JAKARTA - Lionel Messi has scored 23 goals in La Liga this season. Of course, he is eager to add to that number against Real Madrid in El Clasico next weekend.

The Argentinian failed to score against Los Blancos in their previous meeting of the season. He has also not scored a goal or an assist in his last six matches against the Spanish champions.

Yes, La Pulga has not done so since Cristiano Ronaldo left the Capital for Juventus in 2018.

In fact, his last goal against Real Madrid came on matchday 36 of the 2017/18 season. It was a 2–2 draw at the Camp Nou.

Has an outstanding record against Madrid - scoring 21 goals in his first 27 games against them - since then he has scored only five goals in his last 17 games.

Messi will face Madrid on Saturday in the hope of ending his ill-travelled journey against them. Right now, he's been in an outstanding performance since the turn of the year.

El Clasico this time could be messi's last. And he will surely work hard to leave a sweet mark while continuing his task of awarding the La Liga title to Barca.
