Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino said he is not worried about Lionel Messis month-long La Liga goal drought as Barca prepare to face Espanyol on in the Catalan derby on Friday. Messi hasnt scored in the league since pulling up with a thigh strain in the 2-0 win at Almeria on September 28. The Argentine subsequently missed the 4-1 drubbing of Valladolid at the Camp Nou and only came on for the final 30 minutes of the 0-0 draw at Osasuna. He returned to the starting line-up for the victories over Real Madrid and Celta Vigo in the past week without managing to find the net, but Martino believes his compatriot is being unfairly treated due to the incredibly high standards he has set in recent seasons.
