The Argentinian has scored 17 goals against the team from Madrid in a total of 13 games, and has scored “hat-trick” in the last two matches
This Sunday Leo Messi will be face to face with his favourite victims: Athletico Madrid. Messi has scored
17 times in 13 games, and has become the nightmare of the Madrid outfit.
14 in the League, and 3 in the Cup
Atletico Madrid is by far the team that Lionel Messi has scored more against, with 17 goals. They’re followed
by Sevilla and Real Madrid with 13 goals each. Against Athletico, 14 goals have been in the League Cup and
3 in the Cup, in 11 and 2 matches respectively.
Especially significant are the most recent precedents against Athletico Madrid. In the last two matches, both
at the Camp Nou, Messi has scored two ‘hat-tricks’ (3-0 on 5th February 2011 and 5-0 on 24th September
2011).
Before that Leo Messi had already scored a hat-trick at the Vicente Calderon in a match in the last 16
of the Cup, on 6th January 2009. On Sunday he’ll have another chance to improve his scandalous figures.
