Lionel Messi: How Barcelona star’s record against Premier League ‘Big Six’ compares to Tottenham star Harry Kane
Lionel Messi just loves playing against Premier League clubs.The irrepressible Barcelona star was up to his usual tricks last night with a brace in the 3-0 victory over Liverpool, including a magical free-kick to bring up goal no. 600 for the Catalans.Messi has now scored against all of the ‘Big Six’GETTY1
Messi has now scored against all of the ‘Big Six’
Until last night, the Reds were the only members of England’s ‘Big Six’ which Messi had failed to score against.But despite never playing in the English top-flight, the Argentine now has a staggering 26 goals against the top six – nine against Arsenal, six against Manchester City, four against Manchester United, three against Chelsea and now two against both Liverpool and Tottenham.That’s more than one of the Premier League’s most feared marksmen: Tottenham star Harry Kane. The Spurs striker has four fewer goals against the rest of the ‘Big Six’ – despite playing more games.Messi has taken just 33 games to hit 26 goals, while Kane has faced Tottenham’s top-six rivals 46 times.In fact, out of currently active players, only Sergio Aguero, Jamie Vardy and Eden Hazard have scored more goals against the ‘Big Six’ than Messi.

MOST GOALS AGAINST PREMIER LEAGUE 'BIG SIX'

Active players in all competitionsSergio Aguero – 53 goals in 75 gamesJamie Vardy – 32 goals in 50 gamesEden Hazard – 27 goals in 80 gamesLionel Messi – 26 goals in 33 gamesThe 31-year old’s tally is just three fewer than Ballon d’Or rival Cristiano Ronaldo – who played in the Premier League for six years at Manchester United.Messi will be hoping to add to his numbers when Barcelona travel to Anfield next Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.The Reds require a miracle and could leave themselves vulnerable as they chase the three goals they need.
