#4 Messi cannot bail Barcelona out forever
He has been doing that for over a decade and he will continue to do so for the foreseeable future but a team such as Barcelona should not be so over-reliant on Messi, especially when they boast of world-class players in their squad in the form of Luis Suarez, Neymar, Andres Iniesta to name a few.
Ever since the 4-0 defeat against PSG at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League, Barcelona have won their 2 league games with the same margin of 2-1 with the diminutive Argentine netting the winner in each case. He has scored numerous pivotal goals to bail his team out this season.
Last season, it finally looked like Barcelona were coming out of Messi’s shadows but this season has proved that they have never been so reliant on the little magician.
