One of the best footballers in history, Lionel Messi, claims that "Barcelona" did not lose much when Neymar left the team.
Last summer, the capital team of Catalonia left for an impressive amount of 220 million euros and went to PSG. Neymar was replaced by Ousmane Dembele, but the Frenchman hardly plays due to injuries, and "Barca" demonstrates wonderful football and results even without his help.
"Without Neymar, we are a more balanced team," said the Argentinean in the magazine "World Soccer."
"His departure changed the style of our game. Yes, we lost potential in attack, but we are better in defense. Moreover, we are perfectly coordinated in the defensive line, which makes us even stronger in defense," added L. Messi.
The Argentine told the truth: this season, "Barcelona" in Spain, along with "Atletico," demonstrates the best defense, and the attack is also no less impressive - 57 goals in 20 matches.
