LIONEL MESSI has reportedly stunned his Barcelona team-mates by announcing that he will take a step back from their La Liga campaign.
Messi bagged the only goal of the game as Barcelona beat title rivals Atletico Madrid at the Nou Camp yesterday to move eight points clear at the top of the table.
They look a sure-fire bet to win the league and, according to Spanish publication Diario Gol, the Argentina superstar will only feature in important games on all fronts until the end of the season.
Barcelona face Chelsea in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie next week and will hope to go all the way in the competition.
The Blaugrana also face Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final next month.
Messi wants to secure the treble with Barcelona but is already focusing on this summer’s World Cup.
It is the only major trophy missing from his haul and he is determined to guide Argentina to glory in Russia.
