"Barcelona's" team, winning 5:2 against Seville's "Betis" team at home, raised discussions among fans about coach Ronald Koeman's decision not to include forward Lionel Messi in the starting lineup. The 33-year-old Argentine entered the field halfway through the match and contributed significantly to the resounding victory in the "La Liga" championship. "We talked to Lionel, who finished the Champions League match against Kiev's 'Dynamo' with a minor issue and wasn't ready to play from the start today. The sniper waited on the bench and was ready to help when needed. If Messi is physically ready, he will start the matches from the very first minute," clarified the Dutch coach.
