Lionel Messi | Everything Barca
Yesterday Friday, it was announced Messi will not train with Barcelona’s permission and will also not play against Eibar on day 38.
With the coach’s permission, Leo Messi did not train on Friday and will not be part of the squad travelling to Eibar on Saturday at 6 p.m.
Thus, the Argentine prodigy can breathe before the Copa América and after a season during which he was one of the players most used by Ronald Koeman.
After having been one of Ronald Koeman’s most used players before the Copa América campaign, the Argentine talent will be ready for the Copa América.
His season so far has seen him lift the Copa del Rey and play 47 matches (35 in La Liga, 6 in the Champions League, 5 in the Copa del Rey and 1 in the Supercopa).
It is almost assured that he will win La Liga’s top-scoring award, the Pichichi Trophy, after scoring 30 goals in the period.
The Rosario native has surpassed Xavi’s club record this season, amassing 778 matches.
As a result of this, he dethroned Pelé as the most prolific goalscorer or most goals scored for a single club (672).
