#1 Can Lionel Messi break his goal-drought?
With 525 goals in his Barcelona career, Lionel Messi has terrorised the defences of any team he has faced so far, except perhaps one- Chelsea. The little magician has played against the Blues eight times and has fired 29 shots without registering a single goal. This is his worst record against any club over the course of his glittering career.

Even when these two teams met the last time, Messi uncharacteristically missed a penalty, hitting the bar from 12 yards out.
Messi broke his hoodoo against Petr Cech last year when he finally scored past the Czech goalkeeper after 10 hours of football. Will he able to do the same against Chelsea this time around?
