Messi was not at his best physically but he did not have a bad game. Pretty much all attacks went through him as usual. And we probably expected too much after Cristiano's performance against Juve.
If Leo gets rest against Levante and manages to get back in better shape for the upcoming weeks, I will not worry.

Compared to his usual form, he was bad. He made so many misspasses and wrong decisions, which is not Messi like. He normally he makes the right choice.

I think he is feeling the pressure due to the usual Messi vs Ronaldo thing. Ronaldo has been on fire since the start of 2018 and its putting a lot of pressure on Messi to reply.

Messi is above that stuff. He only cares about team trophies and the world cup. If he cared he only does a little. I doubt he would risk cl/world cup while playing injured to outscore ronaldo.
We need to rest him though. Perfect health for cl semi’s is the only objective at this point imo.

I would rest him. Ronaldo is not going to score a hat trick against Atletico with their defence so it should not be decisive in the race for the Pichichi.

Resting him to much is unproductive, playing him 80% in every match he plays would be just enough


Edit: he doesnt run much when he plays, so he will be okay

So what? We have a cushion that is meant to be used for resting players.

About what cushion you are talking about ? . We are only 9 points above Atleti and has to face Celta away , Madrid in camp nou were Messi hasn't scored in la liga classico since 2012 . And then we will be facing Valencia and villareal two very good sides capable of taking away points from us

Don't know if it's best for him not to play... he loses match fitness.

But rest before an important one is a way to go... like vs. Chelsea
