5 tactical changes Ernesto Valverde has to make for FC Barcelona to win the treble

#1 Stop over-depending on Lionel Messi

Barca's Messidependencia is obvious

The eminence of the little genius is such that no other team in the world relies on a single player like Barcelona relies on Lionel Messi.

Even with such a stellar team, the club’s dependence on Messi is surprising. The Argentinian has scored five of the 18 the team has netted, as well as setting up another four, including Munir's equaliser against Athletic.

The last seven times Messi has been benched the team have drawn five games and only won twice. So many times have we seen Barcelona losing and most of the times its Messi who saves them.

When Coutinho and Dembele arrived in Barcelona everyone expected that now the burden that Messi carries will be shared among the three but still it is the Argentine who is doing everything by himself.

The team may brag of players like Suarez, Coutinho, Dembele, Munir, and Malcom but in the match, it's Messi who makes the difference. Suarez needs to get his form back so he could help Messi.

Coutinho and Dembele have to step up their game so in worst case scenario if Messi gets injured, they could share Messi’s responsibilities among themselves just like Neymar did it in the 2015/16 season and made sure Barcelona didn’t miss Messi.

Valverde has to find a way to remove the burden that Messi carries so he could play at the height of his powers and could lead the team to treble glory.
