Some people will tell you that Lionel Messi is in decline. Do not listen to them. They do not know what they are saying.

If you watch Messi play for 90 minutes and you still say that he’s not the best, then football is not for you

I always wonder how can people watch 90 minutes of Messi and any other player and claim someone else is better.

I’m completely satisfied with a Barcelona match (not a Messi match) for the first time in almost two years. It’s been a while.

Overall, people were really happy with the club’s performance on the field.
It’s still soon to judge Valverde, but knowing he actually has a plan is a good sign. At least we can enjoy Barcelona on pitch again.

Barcelona with a cohesive setup thanks to Valverde. Team looks like it has a plan for the first time since Lucho’s first season. Excellent.
