While Real Madrid have every reason to be wary of facing Messi again, given all that he has achieved down the years, Barca will need no reminding that the Blancos have plenty of match-winners on their books.
Vinicius Junior was on target midweek delivering a superb on a Champions League stage first leg tie, with the Brazilian bagging a brace in a 3-1 win over Liverpool that has Madrid in full control of that quarter-final contest.
Benzema has, however, remained the go-to man for Zidane’s side this season.
