Lionel Messi’s injury worries Barcelona. His injury keeps him out of the upcoming games against Inter Milan and Real Madrid, as well as others in the next three weeks.

However it’s not a new situation for Barcelona. 

Nine years ago they faced a similar moment with Pep Guardiola at the helm. Back then they had to face Inter in the UCL group stage then Real Madrid in La Liga with Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic injured.

November 24, 2009, Barcelona hosted Inter who had Mourinho in charge and Samuel Eto’o up front.

“If I play Messi or Ibrahimovic and they get injured I’m committing suicide,” said Guardiola after the game.

Pique and Pedro scored as Barcelona won 2-0 and reached the knock-out rounds.

“This result gives us confidence for the Clasico,” said Pep, before they faced Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Madrid, who arrived at the Camp Nou as leaders.

Messi started and Ibra was on the bench, and Barca won 1-0 thanks to a goal from the Swede who came on five minutes earlier.
