"Barcelona" club star from Argentina Lionel Messi has raised the bar of his game so high in recent years that fans are worried already after a few "dry" matches of the team's leader. In the "Primera" league the leader of "Barcelona" has not scored a goal in the last four matches and has made the team's fans anxious, although in the last ten matches in the Spanish championship the striker has scored 8 goals. The 26-year-old four-time consecutive best footballer on the planet, L. Messi, scored a goal in the "Primera" on September 28th in a match against "Almeria". After that, the Argentine had to miss one match due to a minor muscle injury and upon his return to the field, he did not score in four consecutive matches - against "Osasuna", "Real", "Celta" and "Espanyol". On the other hand, any player would envy L. Messi's statistics - the striker scored 8 goals in 10 matches in Spain, and in the UEFA Champions League, he scored 4 times in two matches. "I'm not yet physically one hundred percent ready, but with each game, I'm starting to get more into it and getting in the rhythm," Messi wrote on the social network "Weibo". "Barcelona" coach Gerardo Martino was surprised why fans are worried about L. Messi: "I don't see any problem in this, it's just a coincidence that he didn't score in the last matches. Messi has set the bar so high that a few 'dry' matches immediately become a problem." It is worth noting that in the "Primera" league, L. Messi is well backed up by Alexis Sanchez, who is in excellent form, scoring 7 goals. The newcomer Neymar has already scored three times into the opponent's goal. The last time Messi scored a goal in official matches was on October 22nd against AC Milan in the Champions League match. It is exactly against the Milanese players that "Barca" will play in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. Facing the struggling AC Milan in national competitions, L. Messi will try to finally break the "dry spell". Two weeks ago, the teams drew 1:1 at San Siro stadium, and on Wednesday they will meet at the Barcelona "Camp Nou" stadium. A victory for the Barcelona players, who have 7 points, would guarantee them a place in the knockout stages. Milan has only 5 points, so they will also try to win, as they are chased by Glasgow Celtic and Amsterdam Ajax clubs."
