3 reasons why Lionel Messi will be a force to reckon with this season

#2 New signings will ease the pressure on Lionel Messi

The departure of club legend Andreas Iniesta, after having been at the club for 17 long years and won 33 trophies, has left a huge void at the Nou Camp. Being the senior-most player, it will certainly fall on the shoulders of Lionel Messi to guide the club this season.

With the arrival of Arturo Vidal, Malcom and Lenglet the team as a whole has become stronger and hence Barcelona have now players like Malcom and Vidal who can provide support to Messi in attack with their speed, aggression and ability to provide assists and score goals.

The arrival of these players and the recent good form of Dembele will ease the burden on Lionel Messi and will free him to score more goals this season and torment the opposition defenders.
