Barcelona defender, Javier Mascherano has expressed his unwillingness to take a penalty to break his goal drought for Barcelona.
Mascherano has not scored a goal for Barcelona in over 200 competitive appearances since joining the club in 2010 from Liverpool.
His team-mate Gerard Pique said Mascherano refused to take a penalty in the side's 5-1 win over Rayo Vallecano last week, in which Luis Suarez stood up instead and missed.
"We told Mascherano to take the penalty kick but he did not have the confidence or has not wanted to shoot, but I asked," Pique said on Periscope.
But Mascherano says scoring his first Barca goal would not alter anything.
"I have surpassed [Michael] Reiziger's record [of years without a goal at the club] by far," he told TV3.
