4 things Barcelona must do next season

#1 Provide an adequate atmosphere for Lionel Messi to thrive

It is time for Messi to shine and win the Ballon d'Or

It was 5-1, but now it has become 5-5. Lionel Messi has conceded his Ballon d'Or dominance to his eternal rival, Cristiano Ronaldo. About 4 years ago, there was no doubt that Leo was the best player in the world. However, his Portuguese rival has caught up with him in the race for the Ballon d'Or, and is the favorite to take the lead when the next edition is decided.

It is quite obvious to note that a large percentage of Messi's challenges to win the Ballon d'Or emanated from Barcelona's problems. The Argentine has carried the burden of the team on his shoulder for the past few years.

He has been their top goalscorer, and the club has depended heavily on magical moments from the playmaker to win games. Barca's creativity problems also meant that the attacker took on the job to create chances for his teammates to score as well as dropped deep in midfield to orchestrate team play.

With Ronaldo enjoying a run of dominance in the Ballon d'Or race at the moment, Barcelona must do all they can to help their hero win the prestigious award next season.

The club must sign talented and creative midfielders who will enable Messi concentrate on his attacking duties and play closer to goal. With this in place, there is no doubt the Argentine will win the coveted accolade and make the fans happy next term.
