Espanyol take aim at Messi ahead of derby

Espanyol appear to have taken aim at Lionel Messi as they prepare to welcome Barcelona to the Estadi Cornellà-El Prat on Saturday night.

Quique Sánchez Flores’ side have taken to social media to tweet an image of their shirt being held up with the words ‘Tomorrow, remember what matters’.

The tweet seems to allude to Messi’s iconic celebration at the Bernabeu last weekend after he held his shirt aloft to the crowd after scoring the last minute winner, and his 500th goal for the club.
