Betting Special: Money back on selected markets if Lionel Messi scores last when Barcelona meet Real Madrid

Tito Vilanova's men already have an eight point lead over Jose Mourniho's side and Paddy Power are offering a fantastic money back special on specific markets

Camp Nou is the setting for the first league meeting of the two giants of Spanish football on Sunday evening and Paddy Power are offering a money back special if Lionel Messi scores the last goal in the game.

If the Argentina international scores last, the bookmaker will refund losing first and last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets. With six league goals to his name already, there is a good chance that punters could benefit from his impressive form in front of goal.

The Catalan giants have been in fine form, winning all six of their league games so far and they are priced at 5/6 (1.83) with Paddy Power.

Real Madrid stuttered initially but have started to show the kind of performances that saw them claim the title last season. The visitors are available at 3/1 (4.0) to close the gap on their rivals while the draw is an 11/4 (3.75) shot.

Two familiar names dominate the first goalscorer market. Messi is an industry best 7/2 (4.50) with Paddy Power to break the deadlock, while Cristiano Ronaldo, fresh from a midweek hat-trick against Ajax, is a tempting 9/2 (5.50) chance to be the first name on the scoresheet.

David Villa's return to fitness will be a welcome boost for Tito Vilanova and he is at 13/2 (7.5) to score the opening goal on Sunday evening. The last time these two teams met, Gonzalo Higuain got Madrid off to a flying start after just 11 minutes and he is available at 8/1 (9.0) with Paddy Power to strike first.

Another 2-1 victory for the visitors in an 11/1 (12.0) shot while Barcelona are 7/1 (8.0) to record a win by the same scoreline and stretch their lead to 11 points.

There is also £250 available in free bets for new Paddy Power customers and regular offers such as this on the biggest games across Europe for both new and exisiting customers.
