Recently, a team experiencing a minor crisis suffered another painful loss - in the weekend match, young Argentine Lionel Messi received a leg injury and will not be able to help the team for at least 10 days.
The 18-year-old player got injured in a match that "Barcelona" lost 1-3 in the first half and was forced to leave the field. This means that Messi will not be able to help his team in the upcoming match against the team currently in 2nd place in La Liga.
As a result of a suspension in this match, "Barcelona" will have to play without their leader, the Brazilian Ronaldinho, who was recognized as the best player in the world this year. The only good news for the Catalan team is that after Cameroon's exit from the Africa Cup of Nations, the top scorer of the Spanish league, Samuel Eto'o, will finally return to the team.
It's worth mentioning that recently "Barcelona" has not been showing the same level of play as at the beginning of the season - last week the team was knocked out of the Spanish King's Cup, and in the weekend La Liga match at their stadium, they could not put up much of a resistance against Madrid's "Atletico" team.
