Contrary to suggestions that Lionel Messi’s form was waning, he demonstrated his magic on the field once again. Despite admitting to not being physically at 100%, Messi played a crucial role in FC Barcelona’s 3-1 victory against AC Milan. His performance helped Barcelona secure a spot in the round of 16 for the 10th consecutive time. Ajax, winning against Celtic (1-0), is one point behind Milan, while Celtic trails by two points.
Earlier in the week, Messi acknowledged his physical struggles, expressing confidence that with a sequence of matches, he would regain his rhythm. Barcelona’s coach, Tata Martino, understood the challenges Messi faced after two recent injuries. Martino believed that Messi might not feel at his best due to these setbacks but emphasized that Messi trains according to the team’s schedule and the number of matches they play. Despite doubts about Messi’s form, he continues to prove his brilliance on the field.
