MESSI BLASTS TEAMMATES AFTER SATURDAY’S 2-0 LOSS TO GRANADA
At the end of the game, while walking in the tunnel to the dressing room, Messi was angry and very serious, per Cope reports.
The captain told his teammates: “Come on, come on… This cannot happen.”
“You have to go out more focused.”
Granada shocked Barcelona 2-0 in LaLiga last night, which has overseen the Blaugrana’s worst start to the season since 1994-95.
On Saturday night, Barcelona had Lionel Messi back within their ranks for the first time in La Liga this season. But it made little difference. This Barca side has problems that that even the captain can’t resolve.
The worrying thing about this abject 2-0 defeat to Granada from the Blaugrana’s perspective is that it wasn’t the least bit surprising.
The hosts hadn’t beaten Barca since 2014 but their coach on that occasion, Lucas Alcaraz, was rightly confident that his former club would trouble the Catalans, who arrived in Andalusia on the back of a fortuitous midweek draw at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
