Even Marcelo is ahead of the next Barcelona player.
Messi is turning 31 yet is still our entire attack and midfield. That man is not real. It will get better next season once Coutinho is a starter and Griezmann joins, but we need another midfielder there. Hopefully Dembélé steps up too.
Weren't we doing well when Messi was injured this season?
I find that when Messi is not around, Barca actually tries to.play like a team.
Don't get me wrong, having Messi is a blessing, but it does take away from.other players when everyone is concerned with passing the ball to Messi instead of another teammate.
Plenty of times where Alba or Suarez could have passed the ball to another player in better position than Messi.
You can say anything with statistics
