The best player in the world is never enough and now has five senses in take home his fourteenth title
"We want to win this Cup." So of course we were presented with Leo Messi on the verge of winning the second title of the season, "the first was won in the last throes of summer by beating Sevilla in the Super King. To illustrate this second end, as Leo is very reluctant to touch the Cup before winning it, we decided to take a special flag.
And is that 21 years ago that played the last Cup final between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Curiously, the party also took place in Valencia did the stadium formerly known as Luis Casanovas and now Mestalla ". Leo Messi, the best player in the world, had not yet three years old when Zubizarreta, Koeman, Amor, Laudrup, Julio Salinas and Txiki prevailed 2-0 to Buyo, Fernando Hierro, Schuster, Martín Vázquez, Hugo Butragueño and Sánchez. The authors of the goals were Love and Julio Salinas and the consolidated Cup base which is then sustained the `Dream Team", who managed to impress during almost five years the Spanish and international football.
Well, he gave the `SPORT crack" original Argentine commemorative pennant that last final to keep it as a treasure in his mausoleum full of memories and football titles. Leo was very interested in all those final details on especially when we detail the alignment Johan Cruyff put this April 5, 1990, as much of the equipment "Zubi, Txiki, Amor, Eusebio or Alexanko Are people close to and known by the Argentine.
Messi also asked the scorers and the Madrid at that time coached the Welsh John Benjamin Toshack, who won this season's record of goals in the league with a total of 107.
A record that Leo is indeed very present. For two seasons and the team was very close to beat him to reach 105 league goals this year and accumulated 86 goals at just six days, so there is still room to get beat, while scoring 21 goals in six games does not seem either not easy .
Messi But nothing is impossible. As demonstrated by the fact that it has become the best striker in the history of Spanish football in a season by adding 49 goals by now, when the record was held by the lemon, Puskas and Zarra, 48. What's more, Argentina is the current top scorer in all competitions, including the Copa del Rey, which has seven goals in six games, one more than Cristiano Ronaldo.
In fact, his struggle with the Portuguese star is still very favorable for the Blaugrana crack because not only is' food does the moral in their private grief, but also in groups. Since Cristiano Ronaldo plays for Real Madrid still white do not know how to win at Barcelona "has five losses and one draw what one has achieved so much.
Leo numbers are overwhelming in any competition and you look where you look. Sum 17 goals in 25 matches in Cup and obviously contributed somewhat to his defeat at Athletic Bilbao in the cup final which was played in 2009 at the Mestalla. Now he presents a new end. A new record for history. And he, himself paraphrasing Pep Guardiola, "never fails." Not fail in the last cup final, nor in the last Champions League final, or in the last World Cup final clubs, or the last of the Super Cup, and ... FC Barcelona would be his fourteenth title.
