Yes, I personally stated it on this thread that only Messi could ride us past Bayern.

But that begs the question, how long are we going to keep relying on him to sort us out?

What happens in matches that he's human and can't do anything, who would step up?

Our over reliance on Messi is more harm than good. Yes, it's exhilarating watching Messi ride us past opposition, we'd forever keep relishing it...

My problem is, why are we holding on to him like he won't ever leave us? Why?

We haven't even started planning for life after Messi. We don't even want to have a discussion about it, because it's an insult to Messi.

Shey Messi no go leave again?

I swear there are a lot of under cover Real Madrid fans on this thread disguising as Barca fans.

Welcome valverde 3.0

tesppidd:
Wow!

Since it has come down to cherry picking games.

Look at the second round match against Napoli;
Do you have any credible evidence that we would have crossed Napoli without Messi to coman even play the Bayern sef

Look at the group stages ; do you have any credible evidence that we would have qualified from that group stage without Messi? and then coman even play Napoli sef

nurez305:
do they give cash out when a match is on or not ?

barackodam:
Because he will not leave again abi?

At 33, Xavi and Iniesta already had secondary roles on the pitch and were only coming to stabilize or change and win match for us.

At 33, Messi still has 3 years left to offer us.....smh


Una no go learn

Anjop:

FirstbornWds:
Barcelona needs rebuilding and you think the rebuild will come from a team that knows next to nothing about the Barcelona gameplay.

Baba, the pass to Messi tactics can be worked on even with Messi on the Pitch. I agree it'll be difficult to root Messi to a particular position and not allow him the freerole position, but hey, Messi is still a Barcelona player and he can be cautioned.

We just need a coach like a friend with balls of steel to implement those changes. Messi still has a lot to offer that team and letting him go will be the greatest mistake of all time.
My one cent though.

Diamondniyi:
Man U should also sack this OLE

SmartPolician:
Barcelona na yeye team

You just lost a match and you guys are sacking your manager

That's how they ruin teams

Someone needs to remind them that since Sir Ferguson left Man United, the English side has never been the same again

PremierGuy:
Ex-players like Xavi and Iniesta will be good replacements as head coaches for Barca

Angelfrost:
Always the easy way out... As if even a world class coach will do any better with players who have lost steam and are way past it.

Barca is gradually headed the way of United, Milan, etc...

Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has confirmed the sacking of head coach Quique Setien following the club’s humiliation in the Champions League to Bayern Munich. The German giants thrashed Barcelona 8-2 in the quarter-finals, who finish the season without winning any major trophies.

With Lionel Messi reportedly threatening to quit the club, Spanish outlet COPE claim Setien has been axed following a meeting of the Barcelona board. Club president Bartomeu met with director of football Eric Abidal and fellow chief Ramon Planes late on Sunday night and confirmed to reporters afterwards Setien was ‘out’. An official announcement is expected on Monday, with Barcelona scheduling a press conference in the afternoon.

Setien was only appointed in January to replace Ernesto Valverde, but fared little better than his sacked predecessor as Real Madrid beat Barcelona to the La Liga title.

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman, former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and Barcelona legend Xavi are all in the frame to replace Setien.

Former Everton boss Koeman is thought to be the frontrunner as a former Barcelona player and a manager with plenty of experience.

The news of Setien’s dismissal comes hot on the heels of reports Messi is ready to call time on his incredible career at Barcelona. The club have been forced to deny Messi has told the board he wants to leave unless there is significant changes made. While Messi has demanded action, Barcelona have put almost the entirety of their squad up for sale following the defeat to Bayern. The presidential elections are scheduled in 2021, but may be held this year amid calls for Bartomeu to step down.
