It really hurts me as a Barca fan to see the way the team played last night, getting desperate with their shots even though they actually had the game in control. Even took me so long to finally write about it.
This was a long time in the signs already of course and we really need fresh blood. Fans say luckily Real are also in decline, but we forget to respect others like Athletico and Sevilla.
In my opinion, it's not good and healthy when one team depends so much on one player.
Messi is probably one of the 3 the best players in soccer history but he is not young any more.
How long he can still play?
What will happen with Barca when Messi retire?
Who can replace Messi?
It is certainly a problem for any club to depend that much on one player, but i don't blame Barcelona that much.
Messi is such a brilliant player that it would be the same in any other club. When you have such a talent, it would be foolish not to build the system around him, and take the advantages of his strengths.And as we can see, it worked well so far, with Barcelona being most dominant team in quite some time. They might constrain him more, but in the process that would maybe mean less trophies won.They even sacrifiesed another great player, Ibrahimovic , in the process while loosing Etoo, that fitted that Barcelona perfectly.
Barcelona will certainly have huge issues after he retires, but i think it was worth it, it was a good trade off for Barcelona in the end.
