Leo Messi reportedly took painkillers to play in El Clásico
by Tom Conn | Posted on Monday, October 27th, 2014
Barcelona forward Leo Messi was unable to tie Telmo Zarra’s La Liga scoring record or even leave his mark in last Saturday’s 3-1 El Clásico loss to Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and a late week injury may be the reason.
Leo Messi seemed to be back to his former self through the first eight weeks of the La Liga season, scoring at will and passing to his teammates, but on Saturday, the fans saw a completely different side of Messi as the Argentine international struggled to make his mark or even get more than one real scoring chance.
Messi’s lack of production was initially thought to be due to the inclusion of Luis Suarez into the line-up, but there may be a deeper meaning to his sudden drop in form.
According to El Confidential and ARA, Messi twisted his ankle in Thursday’s training and was not 100% fit going into Saturday’s match.
However, Messi refused to let a minor sprain keep him from football’s biggest stage and the player reportedly took painkillers to dull the pain for El Clásico, but to no avail.
The club has yet to acknowledge that the four-time Ballon d’Or winner suffered an injury before or during El Clasico. |
