Bet of the day: Aguero and Messi both to score in Man City v Barcelona

But, it was Messi who gave Barca the edge to win 4-0, even if it was a rather skewed scoreline, as the South American superstar struck a heroic hat-trick.

Magnificent Messi now has five goals from his past three outings and, to boot, Barcelona have not drawn a blank in any of their games in all competitions this season. With this in mind, plus that fact that Messi is one of the usual spot-kick takers, the Argentina international will expect to score at the Etihad for the second time in his career.

As for Messi’s compatriot Aguero, the Citizens’ striker made a huge statement of scoring intent last time out as he dispatched a deadly double to help City thrash West Bromwich Albion 4-0.

Barcelona’s defence are certainly breachable, with main rearguard figures such as Gerard Pique missing, and the Catalan’s were unconvincing at the weekend. City also need to attack with Borussia Monchengladbach breathing down their necks. So, snap up our awesome Aguero and Messi scorer double odds now!
