^^^ And all this proves is that you can't function at the top without a well coached team full of top class players. That even with incredible players like Messi it is not possible to beat the other top teams without support from your team mates. Current Barca does not have a squad that is anywhere ner top class, and certainly not a coach that has any pedigree or frankly a clue! This has been the case for at least 5yrs now, but no the focus for some on here is to blame the one player that has kept them relevant.
Messi let his team mates down too often as well in CL.
Cant claim Messi was failed by his team mates when he was the one team was built round and the levels of all of them including Messi dropped too often in CL.
Barca have had a better side than a lot of teams that have outperformed them in CL in recent years.
