Messi spearheads the clube too ya know. It's rather amusing how people just cringe and move on from discussing him. He's arguably culprit #3 in all this.
lol it's been discussed so many times and it's always the same discussion. Players can say whatever they want, ultimately, Barto's the one in charge, and he should've sacked Valv after Roma or at the very least a few months later, with the team not showing any improvement at all.

That's exactly what Barto's turned them into by indulging their whims and treating them like royalty. Leo being Leo, even in Garfield mode, he still kicks ass but none of the others can keep up.
