Barcelona coach is in trouble with Messi over 7 games in 21 days

Barcelona Dutch coach Ronald Koeman must make the difficult decision to rest or not to rest the star of the Argentine team, Lionel Messi, in the crowd of matches, while the absence of Real Madrid striker Aden Hazar due to injury on the eve of the sixth stage of the Spanish football championship continues.

Messi fought the ninety minutes in the two matches of his country against Ecuador and Bolivia, the last one at a high altitude in La Paz, and he did not miss any minute in the ranks of his team since the resumption of the domestic league in June of last season.

However, the pressurized program for the Catalan team, which will play 7 matches in 21 days, i.e. an average of one match every three days, may prompt Koeman to rest the star of the team in his match at Getafe on Saturday before the start of the team’s career in the Champions League next Tuesday against Hungarian Fernsváros, and more importantly. The first El Clasico match of the season against Real in the current 24th.

Then Barcelona will move to Italy to meet Juventus and its Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo, on October 28 in the first confrontation against Messi since the first departure from Real Madrid two seasons ago.

On the other hand, Real Madrid receives the leaders, who have not lost in the league since last March, where they have won 13 times in the last 15 matches, leading the rookie this season to the top flight.

The goalkeeper of the Belgian royal team, Thibaut Courtois, recovered from a back injury while he was in the ranks of his country during the international suspension period, and the top scorer of the French team Karim Benzema and Brazilian Vinicius Junior will participate as they rested at a time when their colleagues defended the colors of the national teams during the recent period Benzema scored 250 goals with Real Madrid and is the fifth player in the club's history to score so many goals.

However, Hazar's absence has continued since the beginning of the current season, as he suffers from a muscle injury that will likely prevent him from competing in El Clasico next week.
