Thegoalmac understands that Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta says beating Real Madrid is of far greater importance than Lionel Messi becoming La Liga's all-time top scorer.
Spot on from Zubi,but i'm sure Barca fans including him will really love to see Messi break the record in Clasico,it will surely be epic.
He said: “I would like to win in the Bernabeu and for that to happen
we must score goals. But it must not be seen as essential that Messi
exceeds Zarra’s record at the Bernabeu. Leo must play to win, not to
beat a record.”
Assessing the 27-year-old’s showing against Eibar, he added: “When
the game opens up it creates more opportunities for attacking players.
As we’ve seen him do so many times before, he scored another important
goal.”
Sunday’s trip to Madrid could also see Luis Suarez make his long
awaited return from a four-month ban for biting Italy’s Giorgio
Chiellini while playing for Uruguay at the World Cup.
His suspension finishes at midnight on October 25, meaning he is
eligible to feature, though Zubizarreta was non committal over
whether Enrique will opt to throw him straight into his starting XI.
“Hopefully everyone is fit and healthy in the squad and then it is up
to the coach to make a decision based purely from a footballing point
of view.”
Before that much anticipated clash, Barca first host Ajax in the
Champions League at Camp Nou on Tuesday night as they look to bounce
back from their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
