Lionel Messi had the opportunity to speak to the press after yesterday's 2-0 victory over Real Madrid and declared that he would like to return to the Bernabeu this season for the Champions League final.

After scoring another vital goal against title-contenders Real Madrid, Messi was in great spirits and the measure of his ambition was made clear.

Messi stated, "We must go slowly, step by step, because there are still seven league matches remaining. In the Champions League we have the possibility of returning here, which would be very nice."

Speaking about the game in particular, Messi said, "It is the second consecutive game we have won here, and we won again by producing a great performance. Playing with Xavi, Andres [Iniesta], Busi [Sergio Busquets] and Yaya [Toure], with these players football becomes more simple."
