Barcelona being the best club in the world today has won almost every trophy in football as far as club is concern, i can vividly say that this team compose of uniquely talented players, the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro, Pique, Vila, Puyol. But the big question is can this team perform without Lionel Messi?

From my own view I think Messi play a crucial role in Barca, and if excepted from the team, a great impact will be felt, nevertheless Barca as a team has come a long way as a family and at absence of any player the team will not suffer, because with the kind of game they play, Barca is more than a team....

Let's get the ball rolling...........

Yes Barcelona can do without Messi like they've been doing ever since. However, if Messi departs, one sure thing is that Barce won't be topping La Liga.

i think Barca will still be topping La liga without Messi, consider their second team, more deadly as the big team

Barcelona can survive without messi; there's no doubt about that. For one reason, Leo Messi was not part of Spainish National team that won the world cup in 2010 and the continental cup earlier this year, a team in which xavi, iniesta, villa, fabregas, pedro, pique, puyol, busquets, alba play very prominent roles. Barcelona can compete without messi.. BUT not at this level. Pep guardiola said the same thing this year.. Messi is what makes all the difference for Barca.. When it matters most, at that very crucial stage, you can depend on Messi.. Imagine an elclassico without the legendary messi
