This isnt a 2-leg tie, its one game now, did you forget?
Starting Messi on the bench would be absurd.

I know that, but a half fit Messi playing the whole match is like playing with 10 men. If the rest of the team work hard, and hold on till the 60th min, bringing Messi on then could turn the odds in Barcas favor.

A diamond midfield of Busi, Frenkie, Roberto and Puig with Griezmann and Suarez as forwards is not a bad team provided they all give everything on the pitch.

We are screwed indeed not because he is hurt, but because he is arrogant and selfish enough to demand to play while not being fit. We have seen it in many games in the past where a non fit Messi plays and we lose since he is taking space and demanding other players to involve him

Why did he play the Napoli game for the whole 90 min, he should have been subbed at half time. Both him and Setien are at fault if he is injured.

If he is not at 100%, it would be better for the team if he started on the bench, him walking for 90 mins won't do any good, and would be game over before it even begins.
He is arrogant and selfish .. addicted to the ball and will get his fix at whatever cost even if he needs to drop back to CDM

A not 100% fit Messi in the field is the most annoying thing tbh, it kills the morale. Players lose hope and the players cannot do what needs to be done because of hierarchy and Messi continues to be in a denial loop throughout the game

None of this is substantiated by any evidence. We don't even see that he's injured and you're likening him to a drug addict.

Calm down and get some fresh air.

I'll take Half fit Messi over any player in our history bar Prime Ronaldinho !!!

Messi should be fit 100% in his HEAD and it is more than enough, he pulled us through tough situations while being injured.

Don't worry Sentien will inject some horse placenta in his legs and he will be at 110% :messi:

No but seriously, all hopes are on this little fella if he turns up Bayern bring the lube otherwise it's going to hurt. However, if Messi doesn't have his day then it looks very grim for us.
