Lionel Messi has a terrible goal-scoring record against Real Madrid in the Copa del ReyLionel Messi is currently the top scorer in Europe's top five divisions this season with 21 goals in 20 games. The 31-year-old has also scored six times in the Champions League and twice in the Copa del Rey. Messi’s first game against Real in Spain’s famous cup competition came during the 2010/11 final, in which Barcelona lost 1-0 after extra time. That brings Messi’s minutes without a goal against Real in the Copa del Rey up to 597. The recent Copa del Rey draw meant that Barcelona and Real Madrid would meet three times in just over a month, and twice in just four days at the end of February/start of March.
