Valencia, Spain (SportsNetwork.com) - Lionel Messi will look to carry some momentum into Barcelonas potentially tricky fixture against Valencia at the Mestalla on Sunday. The Argentine attacker enjoyed a banner week, breaking the all-time La Liga scoring record in Barcelonas 5-1 rout of Sevilla before claiming the all-time Champions League scoring record in his very next match. Messis resurgence appears to be coming at the right time as Barcelona, which had started the season with an eight-game unbeaten run in league play, has fallen out of top spot in La Liga. A dip in form saw the Catalans drop two straight in league play, but as Messi goes, so too does Barcelona. And with a hat trick in back-to-back outings, Messi appears poised to guide Barcelona to another league victory, this time against a Valencia side that is winless in its last two league contests. Valencia had won two straight to climb as high as second place, but a draw with Athletic Bilbao was followed by a loss to Levante, dropping the club to fourth place in the table with 24 points through 12 games. Atletico Madrid has taken advantage of the slip-up as Diego Simeones side has advanced to third place in the top flight. The club responded well to 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad, claiming a comfortable win over Malaga last time out to move ahead of Valencia. Atletico will go for a second straight league win on Sunday when the club takes on Deportivo at the Vicente Calderon. Rounding out Sundays action, Villarreal will travel to struggling Cordoba, which enters the weekend in last place, and Sevilla will aim to snap a three- game winless run when it plays host to Granada. While Atletico, Valencia and Barcelona will be aiming to climb higher up the table, they will merely be chasing a surging Real Madrid side. Carlo Ancelottis men sit firmly atop the table and have dismantled opponents in recent weeks, cruising to a nine-game winning run in league play by a combined score of 37-4. They will attempt to maintain their sublime form when they head to La Rosaleda on Saturday to face Malaga. Levante and Espanyol will do battle at the Estadi Cornella-El Prat on Saturday while Celta Vigo plays host to Eibar and Athletic Bilbao travels to the Coliseum Alfonso Perez to face Getafe. Mondays lone contest will pit Rayo Vallecano against Almeria at the Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos while Fridays match saw Carlos Vela net a hat trick to lead Real Sociedad to a 3-0 win over Elche.

His immediate status for the surging Leafs isnt quite clear at this point, though his situation is not believed to be serious. The 25-year-old left his long-awaited return to Los Angeles after just 20 minutes Thursday evening – his team rallying for a 3-2 win – unable to continue because of a nagging lower-body injury. Kept off the ice on Saturday – following a travel day on Friday – Bernier opted for two rounds of treatment on the ailment and may require an MRI to make certain that the injury is not serious. "Berniers still feeling the effects of the injury the other night, said head coach Randy Carlyle of the undisclosed issue following practice. "We dont think its that severe, but youd always like to make sure that you are making the right decision there." Carlyle said it had yet to be determined whether Bernier would indeed go for the MRI and whether he would be able to acquire the image in the Washington area or would require a trip back to Toronto. He wont play against the Capitals, though, in a Sunday matinee at the Verizon Center. That challenge will instead go to James Reimer, who was brilliant with 31 saves in Berniers place against the Kings. Superb in his first season with the Leafs, Bernier had been bothered by the injury before his return start in L.dddddddddddd.A. – he was "stiff" according to Carlyle – but felt well enough to give it a go opposite his former team. Sliding across his crease for one particular save in a first frame that saw the Kings jump out to a 2-0 lead – perhaps the extended right pad stop on Anze Kopitar – Bernier "didnt feel good" and opted to come out. He was replaced by Reimer, who guided the Leafs to their 15th win in the past 22 games. "We felt comfortable putting Reims in and, obviously, the way he played, he shut them out the rest of the way, you cant complain about that, thats for sure," said Carlyle. While hoping that the injury isnt serious, the Leafs arent certain when Bernier will return. Capturing wins in Anaheim and L.A., they have three games remaining on a season-long five-game road trip. Certainly out against Washington on Sunday, Carlyle wouldnt rule out a return for Bernier in Detroit, though, that would seem unlikely at this point given his inability to take the ice Saturday. The team recalled Drew MacIntyre from the Marlies to be the backup against Washington. Bernier was unavailable for comment.
