Andres Iniesta: I'd Love Lionel Messi To Break The Record Against Real Madrid

Andres Iniesta: I'd Love Lionel Messi To Break The Record Against Real Madrid

FC Barcelona midfielder, Andres Iniesta, has revealed he would love it if Lionel Messi breaks Telmo Zarra's all-time La Liga record against Real Madrid.

Messi has scored 250 goals in the Spanish league for the Catalan giants and needs two goals to surpass Zarra's record.

While Iniesta admitted it would be 'weird' to stop the game for a Messi-tribute in case he breaks Zarra's 251 goals, he hopes his teammate will score against Barcelona's bitter rivals.

"To stop a game would be weird, for this or anything else. I'd love him to do it - we'd have more chances of winning if he passes it," the Spaniard told reporters.

"It's something unique, I don't know if it will be done again.

Iniesta also admitted that the El Clasico will be a difficult game for the unbeaten La Liga leaders and highlighted the 6-2 victory at the Bernabeu in 2009 as one of his best football moments.

"It's difficult in these types of games to predict what you'll find. Our intention is take advantage of our best weapons, to be effective in moments where we have to be and to play a very good game.

"You have to play better in every way to beat Real Madrid.

"Winning always creates good memories. The 6-2 at the Bernabeu was a unique memory for us, winning there gave us the league, most importantly."

FC Barcelona lead La Liga with 22 points, while Real Madrid sit four points behind them in third. Check the Spanish league table here.
