- The Argentine has gone three Clasico fixtures without scoring or assisting.
- Still, Barcelona won three out of four last meetings with Real Madrid.
- In total, Messi has scored 26 goals in 39 games against Los Blancos.
It comes as a huge surprise but Lionel Messi hasn’t managed to score or provide an assist in his last three games against Real Madrid. Luckily, as Goal point out, the Argentine has never gone four consecutive appearances without a goal or an assist against Los Blancos.
Last season, Barcelona faced Real Madrid four times: in La Liga and in the two-legged Copa del Rey semi-finals’ tie. Messi wasn’t involved in the Catalans’ home league game as he was still recovering from an arm injury.
Barca’s 2018/2019 Clasico results:
- Barcelona 5-1 Real Madrid (La Liga)
- Barcelona 1-1 Real Madrid (Copa del Rey, first leg)
- Real Madrid 0-3 Barcelona (Copa del Rey, second leg)
- Real Madrid 0-1 Barcelona (La Liga)
Luis Suarez, Philippe Coutinho, Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic and Malcom all scored at lease once across these four matches.
In any case, Messi’s record against Real Madrid is quite staggering. The Argentine has scored 26 goals in 39 games in all competitions against Los Blancos.
Barcelona host Real Madrid this Wednesday, December 18.
