Barcelona woes continue as Messi left out of Champions League Squad

Following the weekend’s loss to rivals Atletico Madrid, there seems to be more unrest within the Barcelona camp. 

The Catalan giants released their Champions League squad for the game against Dynamo Kyiv and a notable absentee was club Captain Lionel Messi.

 Barca coach Ronald Koeman has previously made comments about the Argentine’s work ethic and suggested that he should do more without the ball. 

There have been several times in games this season where Messi is seen walking, not tracking back and looking disinterested in the game. 

Koeman’s young squad have been inconsistent with their performances this season and currently sit in 12th position in the Spanish League. Barca has won only one out of their last five league games.

With the injuries to Gerard Pique and Sergi Roberto, Barca’s plight to get into good form would get difficult.
