Yes.
Messi is no captain when the team is down as well. He and senior players like Pique looked bewildered and demolished at half time.
But you are also right, Messi definitely up there with the GOATs in world football.
Also have to add, ironically the best Barca player on the pitch on Friday night was none other than Coutinho
Btw my sincere and deepest apologies to Rudi Garcia and his boys from Lyon for writing them off so soon. Wonder what the odds were on a Lyon win or even tastier a 3-1 Lyon win.
