The famous coach Louis Van Gaal ordered Barcelona team leader Lionel Messi to take some of the blame for the team's failure in the Champions League tournament.
About this, the Dutchman spoke to the newspaper "El Pais":
"I think there is nothing more important than a team player.
And Barcelona suffers from that. I think L. Messi should ask himself how it happened that he has been unable to triumph in the UEFA Champions League for a long time.
How many times has the Barcelona team won this tournament with the so-called best player on the planet? And how many times has PSG with Neymar?
Lionel is the best individual player because his statistics are incredible. But why hasn't the Champions League been won for five years?
As captain, he must ask himself why this is happening. I think L. Messi is also responsible for what happens in the club, not just the coach.
Barcelona has 30 players in its squad and I think Lionel should adapt to the team, not the other way around," - said the Dutchman.
