Wow.
To say Messi has been purely marketing for us is neither true or fair. Sporting-wise he continued to carry us, albeit not as much impactful as before, due to his decline.
This is the type of BS that makes you laugh rather than being mad ....
Take Messi outside Bar?a in the last 12-14 years & you will eat that tiki taka of yours which was 90% Messi breaking defenses & playing 1-2 with anyone available.
When tiki taka Died in 2012 he carried this team since.
Same people who thinks Valverde was doing great .... instead it was just Messi having a good form.
For the last decade This team was big if Messi was doing great, not taking the huge role of Xavi/Iniesta of course but saying they made him lol sure you never watched full time matchs !
Terrible game apart from the goal, just constantly wrong passing decisions and slowed down the game too much in the second half.
