What is happening in FC Barcelona? Is Messi going to leave, there are some fans that believe that he is, because of this statistic.

FC Barcelona is fighting against all his own problems, the elections, the chance of losing Messi and the absence of a main striker. It is impossible to find a fan that wants Lio out of the club, but there is a statistic that says the opposite and it confirmed on the last match against Elche.

Ronald Koeman plays better without Messi and the team demonstrated it. Since he joined the club, there has been only six matches without the Argentinean. FC Barcelona did not lose anyone. After the 2-0 against Elche today, they got four victories and two draws.

What does this mean? Ronald Koeman can no longer trust the number 10? Absolutely not, but it means something. After the departure of Luis Suarez, Ivan Rakitic and Arturo Vidal, their coach was forced to rely on young players, and maybe they play better with the pressure of no having to give every ball to Lio.

Every time you watch a new wonderkind at FC Barcelona, it seems that he tries as much as he can to give the ball to Lionel Messi even when he has the opportunity to shoot himself. Fans are considering right now what position to take on this Messi’s departure discussion.
