MESSI WILL SHOW NO MERCY

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi looks likely to be fit to feature in Saturday’s much-anticipated El Clasico against Real Madrid.

The Barcelona talisman has been sidelined with a knee injury but made a return to full training on Monday, right in time for La Liga’s glamour clash this weekend.
Barca teammate Adriano says Messi has looked in training and is backing the Argentinean to be fit in time for the trip to the Santiago Bernabeu.
“He is recovering very well, doing everything to get to the game and to have him in the team changes a lot," Adriano told Mundo Deportivo.
“There's a difference when he plays or doesn't, but in his absence we've managed to come together and move forward in matches.
“Every day he's been the Leo we're accustomed to: laughing, joking, and doing things with confidence.
“Would I put money on him playing in the Clasico? Hopefully, yes.”
Luis Enrique’s side have not felt the impact of Messi’s absence as Neymar has been on fire, surging to the top of the La Liga scoring charts with 11 goals, and Luis Suarez also has nine.
