Barcelona with statement win

In the slightly more important world of LaLiga, Barcelona have had the better of their big rivals this season.

Hansi Flick’s side enjoyed a stunning 4-0 win over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in October, leaving the home side stunned.

They sit four points clear at the top of the table, but Real do have a game in hand.

Messi speaks of Barcelona pride

Lionel Messi will not be playing this afternoon, but he has been keeping a close eye on the current Barcelona side.

The 37-year-old revealed he is “hugely proud” of the faith Hansi Flick has put in the club’s young talent, with the Inter Miami star believing that is the key to Barcelona having success.

"I'm hugely proud to see how the first team is representing the club right now," Messi said.

"This Barca side is spectacular, although it doesn't surprise me. It is nothing new, it's always happened, or at least since I arrived at the club as a 13-year-old.

"It's spectacular that the kids have had chances in the last two years and, when you put confidence in them, this is how they respond because they know the club better than anyone.

"They are used to playing this way since they were little. If you give them the opportunity, these things happen, as happened in our era."

First legends match...

The two Spanish giants first met in a legends fixture in 2017.

That match took place in Beirut, with Barcelona winning 3-2 in a typically entertaining encounter.

Here are some highlights - it was only seven years ago, despite the footage looking about 107 years old.

Tough night for Real

The legends will take centre stage later this afternoon, but it was Real Madrid’s stars struggling last night at Anfield.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool and it means they have already lost three times in the Champions League this season.

They sit 24th in the table with only three matches to go - big shock on the card?

Only the top eight will go straight through to the last-16, with the teams between ninth and 24th playing an extra two-legged knockout tie.
