Messi goes 5 games without a goal

The 28-year-old made it five games without a goal as he once again failed to find the net in the Champions League quarter-final second leg defeat to Atletico Madrid.

It's not often you associate goal droughts with Lionel Messi but that is exactly what the Barcelona superstar is going through at the moment, with it now being five games since he found the back of the net.

The Argentine forward was kept at bay by Atletico Madrid for the second time in just over a week on Wednesday, as Messi once again failed to find a way past Jan Oblak in the Champions League quarter-final.

Messi's barren run now stands at 452 minutes, with his last goal for his club having come against Arsenal on March 16 - and it's six years since the 28-year-old went through a similar spell without a goal...!

Ronaldo's double helped Madrid negotiate a difficult test against Athletic at the Santiago Bernabeu, which saw the visitors cancel out his early opener through Javier Eraso before Aritz Aduriz rattled the crossbar. James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos scored to make it 3-1 before Raphael Varane's second yellow card, while Ronaldo and Gorka Elustondo were on target in the final stages of an entertaining contest.  'Ancelotti the best coach I've worked with' Ronaldo has often been used centrally at Madrid over the past year but Zidane believes his side were always likely to cause problems with him out wide. "We went looking for that because Cri...
