The big star of the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi, went the last player in abandoning Anfield after the disastrous party against the Liverpool, that left to the culés to the doors of a final of Champions League in which already they saw from did days. The cameras of television attracted how Leo Messi left cabizbajo and without mediating word, going through the mixed zone with serious gesture.
The face of Leo Messi said it everything, as well as his silence. It had promised to the FC Barcelona struggle by the 'copita beautiful' this season 2018-19 like maximum priority, and to the hour of the truth was not able to help to his to happen to the final. It did what could, but was too alone and his mates did not equalise him regarding intensity.
Messi played against the world when it held the balloon, and of course could not sortear to all the rivals that put him in front. Yes it had of some clear opportunities ofgoal , but his shots left diverted and, this time, could not take out resources of the basket like the endiablada lacking direct that annotated in the party of gone.
The Messi earthlier improved slightly the version of the rest of his mates, that no to the height of the expectations neither of the status that have in the international football. The Busquets, Alba, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Coutinho and company disappeared of the map, and the FC Barcelona was ridiculed by a Liverpool that surpassed him in everything.
The Champions League will have to expect (again)
Leo Messi finished the party disappointed, as it could not be of another way. With 12 goals annotated in this Champions League 2018-19, probably finish carrying the 'Pichichi' of the tournament but no the 'orejona', that was his greater longing. Once again, it will have to expect to the next year, already with 32 years, going back to lose the opportunity of engrosar his list of winners and the one of the Barça.
The possible doublet of League Santander and Glass of the King that can harvest the Barça by second consecutive year -if it wins to Valencia in Benito Villamarín on 25 May- will have a flavour agridulce. Because the Barça, in spite of having surrounded to Leo Messi of a more competitive staff this course, has gone back to trip with the same stone that the past year. It touches reflexionar, raise and struggle by an improvement... Especially in the mental.
