Elimination of Barcelona against Roma

In the elimination of Barcelona against Roma, in the Champions League quarterfinals, Lionel Messi has been singled out as one of the main responsible. The Spanish press criticized him mercilessly and the same thing happened in Argentina.

After the debacle of the blue and reds in the Olimpico, journalist Martín Liberman affirmed that the Argentine crack once again disappointed in a decisive Champions League match. For the 'Colorado', it is not enough to score goals against minor teams.

"Everyone goes crazy for the three goals he scores against minor teams but he doesn't appear in decisive matches. And today I expected his performances to be higher," said Martín Liberman about Lionel Messi's role in Barcelona vs. Roma.

Similarly, the FOX Sports journalist emphasized a terrible statistic that had been revealed hours earlier by the popular statistician 'Mister Chip': Messi never scored (in the first or second leg) when Barcelona did not advance in a two-legged elimination in the Champions League.
