With 25 minutes to go, A Messi-less Barcelona team look daunted as PSG shocked them with an away goal to make it 2-3. It’s incredible what the little Argentinean means to the Barcelona side, you could see the Barca players spirits drop and also visible in their faces.
Where is our talisman, they were yearning? As soon as the goal was scored, the cameras went straight to Messi, and there he was, he pulled up his socks over his shin guards and he made the decision, I am coming on. No coach required here, it was his decision!!!
Fabregas was the one sacrificed and as soon as Messi came on, everything changed. The entire stadium sounded different. The players oozed confidence. He is their catalyst, and with a direct thrusting move through the heart of the PSG defense, Messi is able to thread the ball through, it returns back to the edge of the penalty area and with a beautiful pinpoint strike in to the right hand corner, Pedro equalizes.
However, the camera again goes straight to Messi, as he is voicing and motioning with his body language. “Calma calma” Or essentially telling his team, calm down, I am here!!!
There is no doubt that Messi is the best player on the planet, closely followed by Cristiano Ronaldo.
There have been many countless articles written, commentaries made, awards won, but what was highlighted more than in most games and days is how badly Barcelona need the Argentinian magician and how average this team is without him.
Messi is Barcelona, without him they are just another team, and the likes of Xavi and Iniesta have also been able to walk amongst the greats. Would they be walking with him if it wasn’t for his presence in the team? I don’t think so. And it was proved today.
Unfortunately, this is all conjecture. We will never know the truth. I would love for Messi to leave this team and continue his journey somewhere else, so we can really see how good Barcelona are without him.
I would love to hear your opinions. Is Barcelona just an average team without Lionel Messi?
