Messi picked up the injury after Barcelona’s Champions League last-16 second-leg clash against Manchester City last month, and did not feature in Argentina’s friendlies against El Salvador and Ecuador last week.

Lionel Messi and Barcelona harder to stop than Cristiano Ronaldo - Miranda - ESPN FC

Atletico Madrid centre-back Miranda has said maintaining defensive shape is the key to stopping Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo -- but that it is more difficult to cope with Barcelona and Lionel Messi.
