Messi arrives on fire to confront to the rival to that more has punished in Spain

37 goals, 29 victories, 6 titles. Those are the figures that accumulates Messi in front of the Seville in 40 parties that has confronted them from the 2005, when Frank Rikjaard gave him little more than an hour of game in the victory 2-1 in the Camp Nou.

An average of almost a goal by party has Lionel Messi in front of his favourite victim, to which besides has done him goals almost of all the existent ways, the same team that leads the list of defeated teams by Messi and also the short list of teams to which has defeated at least 20 occasions.

The 37 goals deliver in three 'hat-tricks' and seven doublets, accumulating more than 25 of these so many in the championship suspender belt. But it is not the only reference that has Messi with the Andalusian team, since from here they went out two of the best partners that has had in the Barcelona.

Dani Alves Is the first, maybe the best that has had leaving by out to Luis Suárez and Neymar, that are in the Olimpo of the history with the 'MSN' that it was champion of conclusive form in all what played. The Brazilian signed some abysmal combinations with Messi during his stage of Barcelona.

The second is Rakitic, Croat that was one of the engines of the Seville that began to win trophies of Europe League almost of dictatorial form. At present, Iván finds in Seville after signing his return afterwards of the clean that carried out in the Barcelona for this season.

Both confronted on 4 October in league, with final marker of 1-1 in the Camp Nou. In that moment Coutinho was to good level, Messi was more was that inside the club and his proposal with the balloon was not so effective or dangerous. The Argentinian keeps on being a doubt for the next campaign, but is flying.

Impulse and harp

Granada and Betis were victims of the character of the Barcelona in the last games, corresponding to Glass of Rey and League respectively. Traced back and fundamental paper of Messi, that exerted of leader, of reference, generator and precisely in Seville, like magician, doing goal in hardly five minutes in the field.

Two traced back, two victories and the Glass in front, "the shortest way to win a title" as it said Koeman, are in the table for a Barcelona that in the middle of so many irregularities, already accumulates more than six games without losing and will have in in front of a big rival, the Seville of Lopetegui.
