Barcelona won the King's and League titles in the season, but the defeat of the Champions League means that this season has basically ended, the only task is to be able to complete the season with unbeaten record!
True that champions league defeat has left a bad taste in the mouth of Barcelona administration and I'm sure they'll be eager to fix this mess. If they end this season unbeaten that's also a very good record #whoneedsNeymar.
I think Barcelona needs to sit down and release few players and then recruit some, honestly it's very difficult whom should they release all are so good but hard decisions will be made sooner than we think and messi is the guy who's calling all the shots.
Barca no doubt is one of the glorious club in the history of football and they have done things in football that no other club is seen doing but I wonder why they lost champions league this season. Just because of Messis bad play in one game, the whole Barca team was thrown out of the champions league. This clearly shows that Messi is a bigger player than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Even when Messi was absent from their game against Levante, did you see how awful they were in the game, It was only Coutinho who stood out in the game, the likes of Suarez were all ineffective, I shudder to think what will happen when he leaves the club.
Without the argentinian the team will probably go back to the old Barcelona, a competitive club in the national league but completely irrelevant in the european tournaments (Barcelona before Messi: 1 Champions League / Barcelona after Messi: 5 Champions League)...or maybe not, who knows. But the Barcelona fans should be happy that Messi is far from retiring right now.
Speaking of Messi, here's a recent interview from him:
http://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2018/05/15/5afb21b1e2704e547c8b4608.htmlApparently, he doesn't like the idea of Neymar, his friend, joining Real Madrid because he knows that the brazilian can make Real madrid better. He even told him that, but I wonder if Neymar will be loyal to his friend and to Barcelona (let's not forget that his dream has always been to play at Real Madrid)
If Messi is speaking about the issue then it means that Neymar is almost on his way to Real Madrid who have tabled a bid of about 250M Euros for the Brazilian. He should have gone to Real Madrid when they initially come instead of taking this long detour.
