The FC Barcelona can reencontrarse with the glory this Saturday and heave a new title. The final of the Glass of Rey, in front of the Athletic of Bilbao, will be the perfect occasion so that the blaugrana give a hit on the table and celebrate the first trophy of the season, trusting complete the traced back in LaLiga and achieve a doublet to final of the course.

The true is that the blaugrana have a factor 'extra' in the field and is Leo Messi, an expert in winning finals. To date, since it began to form part of the staff of the first team of the Barça, has played a total of 30 finals, so much to double split as in only clash, and has won 22 of them. A statistics that will want to improve 'The Flea' in The Cartuja.

In addition to the amazing number of triumphs in final phases, so much in Champions League, Glasses of Rey or Supercopas, also highlights the amazing quantity of opportunities in which it has participated directly so that the Barça carry the title. The star of Rosario has converted 29 targets in finals and has given 15 passes of goal to his mates. Of there to that the Bilbao present like the team against which Messi will look for reinvindicarse, after having lost the two last that contested (in front of Valencia, in the final of Glass of 2019 and in front of the 'lions', this year in the Supercopa).

In the last, celebrated in the same enclosure that the final of this Saturday, Leo Messi arrived 'in extremis' by physical problems and happened unobserved in the party, also because the Barça did not have his best night in The Cartuja and found in front of an Athletic with thirst of victory that neutralised totally to the Argentinian. For worse memory, in extra time was expelled by a manotazo to Villalibre and finished the party in the terracings.

By this reason, especially, Messi will go back to the Andalusian stadium with more anxieties of victory that never to sign his title number 35, remembering his 10 Leagues, eight Supercopas of Spain, six Glasses of Rey, four Champions League, three Supercopas of Europe and three World-wide of Clubs.

The last final of Messi with the Barça?

The possibility that at the end of The Cartuja of this Saturday was the last of Leo Messi with the FC Barcelona takes a lot of strength. The Argentinian finishes his agreement with the Barcelona group in June and still there are not signals of his renewal. His future continues being an incógnita and the main reason of worry for all the barcelonismo, that expects that Joan Laporta achieve to convince to 'The Flea'.

However, there are a lot of stones on the way regarding his renewal, considering the complicated financial situation of the club, that has worsened with the pandemia, and the high income of Messi. His last agreement, signed in 2017, surpassed the 500 millions and, although the mount will see very reduced, will continue being a very significant figure for the club.
