The Argentine now faces a new challenge: Check in seven consecutive games for the first time in his career
Used to breaking records with astonishing ease, Leo Messi now faces a double challenge: for the first time in his career, can score in seven straight games and in the process, helping Barca to overcome a particularly difficult opponent in the Camp Nou, Villarreal, third in the league, the only League team capable of scoring in the Barca stadium last season, even coach Ernesto Valverde. become the benchmark scorer of Barca, Messi and added 17 goals this season, as many as those who signed in the 2006-07 season. If you keep your numbers, is available not only to match the 47 goals he scored last year and that allowed him to win the Golden Boot, but to overcome them and reach a record high, 50 goals in one season. Messi now looking for his 50th league goal in the Nou Camp, while continuing to walk toward the hundredth goal in the league (maybe centenary in a game as universal as the classic 20 November), has scored in his last six appearances : two goals against Copenhagen, twice against Zaragoza, two against Sevilla, one in Copenhagen, one in Getafe and another to the Ceuta in the second leg of the tie in Copa del Rey: this was his hundredth game in that has left the club. Of these, the team has won 88, drawn 11 and lost only one in the Vicente Calderon for two seasons. In recent matches Barca have only lost the first leg of the Copa del Rey in Ceuta.
The Argentine midfielder has played 64 competitive matches throughout 2010 with the club, in which marked 64 goals, an average of one goal per game sustained over a calendar year, statistics available to very few. Messi had chained scoring in six games last season Frank Rijkaard as coach, 2007-08. Occurred early in the course, when the Argentine was door in two Champions League games (Olympique Lyon Stuttgart) and four league: Sevilla, Zaragoza, Levante and Atletico Madrid. His 'feeling' with the goal precisely cut against Villarreal in El Madrigal (3-1). Interestingly, despite carrying six consecutive games looking door, not the best run of Messi in terms of total number of goals: last year, without going any further, the Argentine bonded scoring five games, in which accomplished nothing more and nothing less than eleven goals, one against Malaga, two against Almeria, three at Valencia, two against Stuttgart and three in Zaragoza. His streak was cut off to Osasuna at the Nou Camp when Barca and faced the decisive straight championship.
Villarreal, an expert on life difficult for Barca in recent seasons, has also managed to quash Messi: Argentina has never won the yellow team at the Camp Nou. In their only home game against the de La Plana, Villarreal spoiled the party has already prepared at the Nou Camp to celebrate the league title with a draw with three goals. Messi did not score and in fact, the only two goals that the team has scored in six matches Castellon arrived last year, the team's victory at El Madrigal by Guardiola 1-4, when Messi opened and closed the scoring. The voracity with which he played the last league match , against Getafe, showed that his personal goal is enormous, but avoids controversy, he knows his personal duel with Cristiano Ronaldo this season reaches its climax: the Portuguese are entering an extraordinary start to the season with twelve goals in the league, and pulse for the top scorer will undoubtedly be one of the great attractions of the league.
