Messi needs to kick up a fuss about the state of this current Barca squad before he wastes his last years as the best player in the world surrounded by average players.

Barca 
Barcelona look like a mid table side against a Madrid team that is without Casemiro, Isco and Ronaldo.
The gap is only going to get bigger.
They're not average. Real are simply superior. It's their time to shine.
Barcelona used to do the same thing to a squad consisting of Ronaldo, Benzema, Özil, Di María and Kaká. Cycles.
That should be it then
That's only part of the problem, we still have a squad were key players chose being petty towards the boar with the Neymar thing instead of informing them to start looking for his replacement ASAP.
I don't know how to feel about a lot of them, board is awful, but there's some people in the squad that seem to believe they're kings of the club, and Real players are no kings, they're hungry Lions
Did the the commentator just say Camp Nou? 
Bizarre.
Barca look unbelievably lethargic here. Andre Gomes 100% looks like he can't be arsed being there.
This.
Real Madrid are just on a completely different level under Zidane. Asensio is the next big thing. World class talent and potential.
It's scary to think they're this good without the likes of Ronaldo starting and when he does, putting Bale on the bench to start with occasionally. Insane quality of depth.
It's the first time in a very long while where I'd fancy us to beat Barca over two legs if we were to meet them.
Barça are growing into the game now
It's true Madrid are far superior than any other team in Europe, but Barca are really crap and the worst thing is that I don't predict them to sign Coutinho or Dembele.
This Barca side can't reach anything beyond QFs in CL.

Shows how knee jerk you are then. Barcelona are still a superior team to us.
Kovacic is an amazing player to have as backup, hope we can keep him happy too.
Barcelona's days of tika taka domination is clearly over. They have an average squad and now the gap between them and Real is huge.
Asensio is a wonderkid, sweet left foot my god he is a star.

Barca would embarrass you.
Would have never thought Real would have toyed with Barca!
We'll see.
Arsenal are the only team that get's embarrassed in Europe.
This could be the season Madrid start seriously being considered alongside Pep's Barca as the best club side ever. Hard to see who could possibly beat them.
Europa League. Stay in your lane.
It was relatively unknown. It was not a case like Jesé, Bojan or Guti, who were already known with 15 or 16 years. However after a few matches with Mallorca the news about him spread very quick.
A very famous sports tipster, from Mallorca, wrote this about him in 2014
Nadal and his uncle (not Toni) should have a statue at Bernabéu
Valverde doesn't know what to do on the bench.
Tbh, position for position they're better than us in the attack only ( Messi and Suarez ). The rest of their squad is mediocre.
Barcelona aren't crap or average ffs. They just aren't as good as Real Madrid.
Does he only score screamers?
It's embarrassing for Barca to see Madrid's midfield playing the tiki-taka better than them.
Not just the quality of players in their team is dying, the style of play Pep enforced in the team has died already.

Real will score again, no question
Suarez is dead. Might as well become an actor, impersonating Dracula.
Madrid are incredible tbh. No two ways about it. It wouldn't surprise me if they retained the CL one more time to make it 3 in a row.
Barca's days of tiki take dominance is clearly over. They have looked uninspiring in the past year compared to the days when Xavi, Iniesta and Messi would pass round you all night.
They need to invest the Neymar money wisely if they want to compete with this Madrid side for the next 5 years.

We were never bragging about winning it. We were celebrating cos it meant we didn't have to be in that God awful competition again. But enjoy, at least you get to embarrass yourself in a competition that is your level, this time.
Now it's an insult? Wasn't too long ago you guys were bragging about winning it.
And Juve was superior to them too when they humiliate them by 3-0 easily ? Even Paris could defeat them 4-0 on their day.
You're overrating them. You'll see during the season.
Not crap, but we might be looking at our worst season since 2007 imo.
What bothers me most, there's only so much we can ask Messi to put on the line when the board and the squad aren't at his level and he's facing what could be his last chance at winning a WC with Argentina, that's going to attract a lot of drama
Barca=a bunch of pensioners.
Zidane is god.
It doesn't help his case the board aren't getting the players he has been asking for and instead sign the likes of Paulinho.
Barcelona has invested poorly in the transfer window the last couple of seasons and it is showing on the pitch
