But Messi
and Barca must put those problems to one side for now as they attempt to seal a
spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Barca has not lifted the
European Cup since 2015, and time is running out for 33-year-old Messi to claim
the famous trophy again.
The
Blaugrana have the edge in the tie given their away goal from a 1-1 draw in the
first leg, but everything is still to play for at Camp Nou.
