Messi was right what he was needed to be in both periods.
- main playmaker for Lucho's Barça - which had no creative midfield, but had Neymar/Suarez upfront.
- main finisher for Pep's Barça, which had prime Xaviesta, but had supporter Pedro upfront.
He's been given the green light according to Sport.
Raphinha needs rest too, can't expect him to play 90 minutes. Yamal has had more rest than him over the past week.
Don't have high expectations. I think he will be frequently injured with short-medium term injuries, including during training.
But on the rare occasions he plays, he will be good.
