Barcelona seem to have big problems at the start of the league.
Messi is very important to them but it seems that his absence is not the only reason for the poor results.
They spent a lot of energy and time on Neymar, angering many of their players, like Rakitic for example, and now they have a lot of disgruntled players and a bad team atmosphere.
I totally agree with you.
There is so much discussion about Neymar and his transfer and the worst part is that every week the media indicates different players for an exchange transfer. Rakitic is one player and that's totally bad for his mentality.
