Next Sunday at the Camp Nou, FC Barcelona will kick off their quest to defend the hard-earned title from last season as they face Levante on the first day of La Liga. Tata Martino, the new coach for Barça, will face the challenge of managing the team in the absence of Lionel Messi. The Argentine prodigy is uncertain about his availability due to a painful left thigh.
Messi’s absence has led to adjustments in the team’s preparation, with the Argentine star undergoing lighter training sessions. This setback comes after he missed Argentina’s friendly match against Italy last Wednesday. The absence of such a key player adds an additional layer of anticipation and challenge for FC Barcelona as they embark on their La Liga campaign.
