Another factor that will boost Lionel Messi in his mission to conquer the football world once again this season is the revival FC Barcelona have achieved in their midfield.

By virtue of their incredible exploits in the transfer window this summer, Barcelona currently have one of the most impressive midfield setups in Europe, with the likes of Arthur Melo, Arturo Vidal, and Carles Alena settling into the team rapidly, while Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic have found their rhythm in the middle of the pitch.
With this revival, Lionel Messi has spent more time forward, and he doesn't drop very deep often like he used to. While this has slightly improved his goal tally, more improvements are expected to come as the season progresses, and that will definitely be a huge boost to his ambition to rule the world again, as it will allow him focus on creating magical moments, scoring more goals, and leading the team to important victories.
