Argentina attacker Lionel Messi received the Pichchi and Di Stefano awards at a gala in Barcelona on Monday night, but was already looking ahead to the league clash with Los Merengues at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday.
Barca have already opened up an 11-point lead over Real Madrid in the race for the Spanish Primera Division title, but Messi wants to make it 14 points and send the Blaugrana to their Christmas celebrations on a high.
"It would be important to win for what it means, it's always a special game," said Messi, as quoted by the Daily Star.
"Real Madrid, their stadium... winning is an important advantage.
"There would still be a lot of league games left, but it would be nice to be able to end the year with a victory and spend a happy Christmas."
