Lionel Messi returns to the Santiago Bernabeu but for the first time he won't be sporting Barcelona colours.

And yet the Argentine will hope one thing that hasn't changed is his stunning performances against favoured opponent Real Madrid.

Messi's new side Paris Saint-Germain are in the Spanish capital ahead of the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.

PSG currently hold a 1-0 lead thanks to Kylian Mbappe's late goal in a game Messi also had a penalty saved.

But the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner will back himself to get on the scoresheet this evening considering his record against Madrid.

Messi has faced Los Blancos more than any other club team in his career and contributed to 40 goals (26 goals, 14 assists) in his 46 games.

His record at the Bernabeu has seen him net 15 goals, which is more than his return at any other away ground he's played at in his tenure in Europe.

Some of Messi's most famous moments also came at the home of Madrid during his time at Barcelona.

The 34-year-old memorably scored his 500th goal for Barca in a 3-2 away win in 2017 where he held up his 'Messi 10' shirt at the crowd.

Another famous Bernabeu result saw him bag twice in a 6-2 win in 2009 while Messi also has form playing the club in the Champions League as well.

On Barcelona's route to Champions League glory in 2010-11, Argentina's captain scored both goals in a 2-0 win away at Madrid in the semi-finals.

Messi did blank in front of goal in his last five El Clasico's, however.

He has also picked up more yellow cards (14) against Madrid than any other opponent and PSG can't afford to lose their heads in Spain...
