“Força Barça!”

Lionel Messi is looking foward to the game  against Real Madrid in El Clasico this weekend and hopes the "good version" of Barcelona turns up.

Barca travel to Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday four points behind their rivals and although the Catalan giants have not been at their fluent best this season, Messi has no doubt they can claim an important victory as the title race hots up.

"I hope we see a good version of Barcelona and we can get a positive result, which we need to still be in there fighting for La Liga just a point behind," he told the club's official TV station.

"We have a unique opportunity to cut the gap on Madrid. It will be a very difficult game because we are playing away from home and Real Madrid is a great team playing with a lot of confidence.

"It will be difficult, but it all depends on us."

Barcelona for some time have not been at their best, but the game against Man city in the champions league and Osasuna for the spanish league title saw the good Barcelona team again.


Messi became Barcelona's all-time leading scorer with 371 goals on Sunday as he netted a hat-trick in the 7-0 hammering of Osasuna.

Way to go Messi and here's also hoping the "good" Barcelona turn up. LOL
