It can not say that the FC Barcelona achieved a bad result of Cornellá-The Prat against the RCD Espanyol (1-1) the past Sunday, but sure that Ernesto Valverde and Leo Messi did not leave of the all satisfied. In the case of the 'Txingurri', in eight seasons has not been able in LaLiga Spanish to win to the Espanyol in his own stadium.

Messi does not be used to to mark in Cornellá

Regarding Leo Messi, neither can say that it give him especially well play against the Espanyol in quality of visitor. 'The Flea' has contested to date eight commitments of LaLiga Spanish in Cornellá-The Prat, and so only has been able to annotate two goals.

To exception of the three stadiums of First Division in which it still has not achieved to mark -Montilivi (Girona), Wanda Metropolitan (Athletic) and the Insular (The Palms)-, the field of the Espanyol is the one who worse gives him comparing the number of parties that has contested there with the percentage of targets that has been able to transform in favour of the FC Barcelona.

In fact, it does already three years that Leo Messi does not see goal against the Espanyol to domicile. The last goal that marked in Cornellá-The Prat dates of the day 33 of the campaign 2014-15, when annotating the 0-2 definite after the initial goal of Neymar. The previous season the Barça also had imposed (0-1), with goal of Leo Messi from the penalty spot.

Messi did not mark, but gave the pass of goal

The another goal that marked Messi to the Espanyol far of the Camp Nou was in Montjuïc (1-2), the season 2008-09. Reasons more than sufficient, in definite, so that Leo Messi have finish something defrauded of his performance this Sunday in front of the 'pericos'. In any case, went Gerard Hammered the one who appeared, precisely thanks to a centre of the Argentinian, to rescue a point of an always complicated visit.
