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.

Barca will be without the suspended Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal but are boosted by the return of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong and French forwards Ousmane Dembele and Antoine Griezmann.
