Legend Messi surprises everyone after losing to Atletico and reveals the Barcelona player responsible for this loss
Barcelona’s loss to Atlético Madrid has clearly affected the team’s locker room, with some players calling for changes to the starting lineup. The defeat marked the club’s third consecutive home loss this season, triggering both internal and external criticism of the club’s management.
Lionel Messi shocked many with his comments about Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski after the team’s 2-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid. In an interview with “Radio Catalunya,” Messi expressed frustration over Lewandowski’s continued presence in the starting lineup, stating that Barcelona cannot compete for major titles if the Polish striker’s current form persists.
Messi remarked, “How can Barcelona compete for titles with this player in the starting lineup? I don’t want him to be upset with me, but that’s the reality.” His comments come at a delicate moment for Barcelona, as they are struggling with disappointing results, and Lewandowski’s failure to capitalize on scoring opportunities in the last match has raised doubts about his future at the club.
It appears that Messi is suggesting the club reassess its attacking options and consider alternatives that could provide the offensive strength the team currently lacks. Meanwhile, Lewandowski faces increasing pressure due to his poor form, which is becoming a concern for both the club’s management and supporters.
