Barcelona are on course for yet another brilliant season with Lionel Messi at the helm. The Argentine missed a few matches in the beginning with an injury but has since come back and breathed new life into his side.
Barcelona have been drawn against Napoli in the Champions League round of 16. The match will take place in January but Messi and Co will have their sights on Real Madrid first as they look forward to the first El Clasico this season.
