Argentine star Lionel Messi called for a "comprehensive self-criticism" in the ranks of his club Barcelona, after losing the Spanish Football League title to the rivals Real Madrid.
Messi, Barcelona's captain and best player in the world six times, said after the match to Movistar: "We did not expect and we did not want to end things this way, but that is shortened to the full extent of our year."
"We were a pretty irregular team, very weak, losing in match and desire, receiving goals easily."
"We lost many points where we shouldn't have lost them," he added. Real Madrid has done a lot of work, has not lost a game since the comeback (after stopping nearly three months due to the new Corona virus), but we also facilitated its mission.
The Argentinian star indicated that his club "must perform a process of self-criticism that begins with the players, but a comprehensive self-criticism process." Real deserves to win all the games, but we are Barcelona and we have a duty to win all the games. Messi warned that "if we continue in this way, it will be very difficult for us to win the Champions League," which is the only title left for Barca to compete for.
