Leo Messi has said his main focus at the moment is beating Real Madrid at the weekend and not breaking the La Liga goalscoring record.
The 27-year-old will come to the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening just two goals shy of breaking Telmo Zarra’s all-time record. And amidst calls for the Madridista fanbase to honour him should he do it, Messi said he is not thinking about that but just the three points.
Barcelona saw of Ajax in their Champions League group game on Tuesday evening, and speaking afterwards, Messi told reporters he is raring to go against Barca’s fierce rivals.
“We’re going there to do the best we possibly can and win. This match won’t decide anything and there’s a lot left in the season, but we’re going there to try and win and play well. What’s important is beating Real Madrid, not breaking Zarra’s record,” he told reporters.
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta and the head of the La Liga have both called on the Madrid supporters to be respectful should Messi get the two goals he needs. Zubizarreta said he would expect a standing ovation, similar to when Madridistas applauded Ronaldinho off the field after he scored a hat trick against them on 2005.
