Before the start of the new season, "Barcelona" team newcomers and veterans were reminded of an important rule. It was reported that players were warned not to aggressively challenge team leader Lionel Messi during training sessions. This is an attempt to protect the 33-year-old star from injuries before facing serious battles on the field. The existence of the "L. Messi rule" was first revealed by Barcelona's defender Jean-Clair Todibo, who spoke to "Bild" about the need to play cautiously against the Argentine. "We all know that Lionel cannot be injured - we have to defend him very carefully."
