Messi seeks another record

After the match against Ajax on Wednesday where he equaled Raul’s 71 goals in European League, Messi has another scoring record in sight with the next la Liga fixture against Almería on Saturday, looking also to bounce back from the last two consecutive lost matches in this competition.

After scoring 71 goals in Champions League in the 2-0 win, the Argentinian is looking again to the scoring milestone in La Liga, a record now hold by Telmo Zarra in 1955, with Messi just one goal short from this feat.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo will try to keep his club-record run, where he scored in all the last eight matches, and he will try to continue this run against Rayo Vallecano.

In the current La Liga table, Madrid is the current leader, with Valencia and Atletico Madrid in second and third place just one point behind, Barcelona is now two points behind the leader with the same points as Sevilla.

In Barcelona, Luis Suarez is also looking into score the first goal for Barcelona. Suarez was unable to score against his former team Ajax and he is now without a goal in the three games he has played since returning from his four month ban.

Suarez will have most likely another opportunity against an Almería that has lost the last three games in La Liga.

Other important matches this weekend are the Atletico visit to Real Sociedad without a replacement for coach Jagoba Arrasate fired just three days ago.

Sevilla will face Levante after winning four home games in La Liga. Sevilla has the most versatile attack line with Denis Suarez, Aleix Vida and Gerrar Deulofeu helped on the side by Carlos Bacca and will face Levante, tied with Granada for the fewest goals scored of all teams in La Liga with just six.
