Messi Back with Team He Scores for

Lionel Messi's mood should be better by now. Barcelona has a game on Saturday.

He's a proud Argentine, but his scoring disconnect with the national team sharply contrasts with his record-setting feats for the Spanish club. Criticism at home of his inability to score more for Argentina wasn't dampened after the team played out a 0-0 draw with Saudi Arabia midweek.

Messi expressed his discontent with how the friendly went down in Riyadh, but he has Barcelona to fall back on.

The league leader hosts mid-table Zaragoza, looking to extend its best ever start to a season.

And Messi has only Gerd Mueller ahead of him on the list of all-time leading goalscorers in a calendar year, after passing Pele last weekend.
