Barcelona manager Quique Setien hailed Lionel Messi's number ahead of hosting relegation-threatened Leganes at the Camp Nou.

Messi is the league's leading scorer with 20 goals and has directly contributed to 15 of the team's last 18 goals (seven goals and eight assists). He has scored 20 or more goals for 12 straight seasons in the league. It will be FC Barcelona first game without fans at the Camp Nou since La Liga resume the competition last Thursday.

Quique Setien's team lead the standings with 61 points, two ahead rivals Real Madrid with ten matches remaining. The Spanish league is scheduled to end on July 19.
