Since Leo Messi debuted with the FC Barcelona, the team culé has conquered ten Leagues and the Real Madrid only five. It remains clear the importance of the Argentinian star

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The Real Madrid has conquered LaLiga Santander 2019-20, but the FC Barcelona follows having the double of Leagues since Leo Messi debuted officially with the first Barcelona team. The footprint of the Argentinian has been capital to boost the change of dynamics regarding the hegemony of the Spanish titles, with a Barça that has won ten leagues by the five of the Real Madrid in the last 15 years.

With 'The Flea' in the staff, the Barça has conquered the Leagues 2004-05, 2005-06, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2012-13, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2017-18 and 2018-19. The Barcelona group, besides, also could have increased this figure to at all that it had had a better exert in seasons like the current -in which it arrived leader to the stop of the coronavirus- or in years like the one of the 'Tata' Martino, in which the Athletic snatched a league that the team already stroked.

They have been six the leagues that has left to win the Barça with Messi: 2006-07, 2007-08, 2011-12, 2013-14, 2016-17 and 2019-20. One for the Athletic of Madrid and five for the Real Madrid. The Real Madrid can be happy with the fact to have livestock LaLiga 2019-20 after three years in white.

However, in the Barça do not have to concern more than the had to. Rather, take with philosophy that can not win always, and that precisely situations like the current serve to agitate the avispero and boost changes of cycle, with which recover the throne in coming years.

Since it is in the first staff of the Barça, Messi accumulates twelve years followed marking more than 20 goals in league, with seven pichichis in the case that it win also the one of the present campaign, that leads with two goals of advantage on Benzema (23 to 21). Of course, it has arrived the hour that the Barça think seriously in how relieve to a Messi that, to his 33 years, no longer has the bellows of antaño and has had to evolve in the game.

Messi has had to adapt to the step of the time

No in vain it treats also of the maximum assistant of LaLiga 2019-20, having equalised the historical record of assistances of Xavi Hernández in a same season. The Barcelona could improve more this facet delaying something more the position of Messi in the next years, or at least until the rosarino decide to hang the boots. It was as it was, the numbers with the '10' in the team are spectacular, and would be odd that did not win some title more before the withdrawal of the best player of all time.
