Messi challenged with Argentina at Copa
Messi had already tried to leave the club last summer. He was prevented from doing so by the club boss Josep Bartomeu, who later resigned. The man from Rosario will be chasing goals again from June 11th at the Copa America in his home country Argentina and in Colombia.
There is not much at stake for either FC Barcelona or the home team in Saturday’s encounter. The Catalans are third in the Spanish Primera División and can no longer intervene in the fight for the title, which will be decided on the last day of the long-distance duel between leaders Atlético Madrid (83 points / at Real Valladolid) and defending champions Real Madrid (81 / against Villarreal CF). In the event of a tie, Real can cheer, because Los Blancos achieved the better overall result in the decisive direct comparison from the first and second leg.
