They despised Lionel Messi, now karma comes to Barcelona in the Champions League

In August 2021, Lionel Messi said goodbye to FC Barcelona to the surprise of the Catalan fans. Although there were Catalan supporters who mentioned that the team led by Xavi Hernández would play better without the captain of the Argentine national team, now karma is upon them in the Champions League.

After Leo's departure, from the Blaugrana board they pointed out that there was no money to support the top winner of the Golden Ball (7). However, this season they made a millionaire investment to add players like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha or Jules Koundé. None of this served to return the hierarchy that Barcelona lost after the Argentine's dismissal.

Now, within the framework of the Champions League, the Catalans received a low blow and were eliminated for the second consecutive season.

In the absence of a day to conclude the group stage, the Catalans said goodbye to the most important tournament at club level.

Barcelona never played the Europa League while Messi was at the club:

Lionel Messi made his professional debut in the Blaugrana team in 2004. From that moment until 2021, when Leo said goodbye to the club, he never played in the Europa League and, in addition, qualified for at least the knockout stages of the Champions League. In that period of time, the culé team won the competition four times, with the 'Flea' being the main figure.
