Head-to-Head: Lionel Messi vs Kevin Gameiro

Spanish rivals FC Barcelona and Sevilla meet in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi tonight to contest the 2015 UEFA Super Cup.

Meanwhile in the opposite corner, Sevilla will be hoping striker Kevin Gameiro can step up to the plate this campaign after the Spanish outfit lost star striker Carlos Bacca to AC Milan earlier this summer.

The France international bagged 17 goals in all competitions for  Unai Emery’s men last season, but much of the goalscoring burden will be dumped onto the 28-year-old’s shoulders now that Colombia hitman Bacca, who scored 28 goals last term, sealed a move to Serie A last month.

After both forwards netted in these two side’s last meeting in the 2-2 draw back in April; Messi and Gameiro are likely to play key roles in tonight’s Super Cup clash, so here’s how they match-up from last season’s European games…..
