Barca began almost perfect this season and only dropping points in the league before Christmas when a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid at Camp Mou, besides losing to Celtic in the group stages of the Champions League. But now signs of significant fatigue began.
"Against Madrid we have to produce the best game because we face great opponents. We need to be at their best to qualify for the final, "said Messi, ahead of the second semi-final at the Nou Camp after a 1-1 draw in the first leg at the Bernabeu.
The two teams then met each other in the league this weekend with Madrid lag 16 points behind Barca.
They are expected to surpass the meeting with AC Milan in the Champions League last week, but failed to break the opponent's defense stubbornness as weakness motion and delivery.
Barca defense was fragile and the opportunity Milan scored twice to give an advantage in the second leg.
Barca once again less sting in attack in the first half against Sevilla last weekend and omissions before the rise in the second half with a goal David Villa and Messi.
Argentina's players went on record to 15 league goals in consecutive games and will seek to add network against Madrid.
"We need to get back playing as before and do not think what happened in Milan or Sevilla," Messi said.
