It’s two days since Barca’s draw with Almeria and their drop to second place behind Real Madrid in the La Liga standings but people are still talking about Messi on Monday morning.
And theme is the same: Barca played poorly and Messi saved them.
And when you look at footage of the game, you can see very clearly just how instrumental Messi was in Barca gaining even that one point.
And you say to yourself: “Maybe Lionel really is more important to Barca than the wonderful Xavi and Iniesta. Maybe Lionel really still is the best player in the world.”
