Lionel Messi has assisted Barcelona’s last 5 goals.
Lionel Messi got a hat trick of assists as FC Barcelona came back against Real Betis to win 3-2 last weekend. It wasn’t unusual to see as the Argentine has been contributing to a high proportion of Barcelona’s goals for a long time, although not always at this level.
Messi has assisted the past 5 goals scored by the Catalans. Three were against Betis, and two were to Ansu Fati in Barcelona’s 2-1 won over Levante.
In addition, he scored the only goal in Barça’s 1-0 win over Granada, meaning the Argentine has scored or assisted all of Barcelona’s goals in La Liga since the appointment of Quique Setién and the injury to Luis Suárez.
He also scored twice and assisted once in Barcelona’s Copa del Rey victory over Leganés.
Messi has played every game under Setién except for one, against lower-league Ibiza in the cup. But in the matches he has starred in, Barça have scored 11 goals. Of those, he has assisted 6 and scored 3, meaning he has directly contributed to 9 of the 11.
Without Luis Suárez, the Catalans will need a big lift from Messi, and scoring contributions from many sources. Both were true against Betis, when Frenkie de Jong, Sergio Busquets, and Clément Lenglet scored off of Messi assists.

Are you Crazy or what? that means if you lose 2-0 against Valencia and 1-0 against Bilbao then you score 5 goals Vs Leganes will make you on the top lol so by this you will have many goals and assists but this means nothing 😂😂😂 and finally we give you Ballon d’or 👍 this is the truth so why you dont analyze the news without using your brain?

"When he starts" the only times Messi doesn't start is when he's injured, but he hardly knows what an injury is

how the role messi plays now is much more important cause messi plays as a midfielder we play like almost with 4 midfielders n de jong or vidal making runs to fill in the attack ik u don't understand cause u are brain less when it come to football u just watch it but know nothing
Do you think Barca is playing well apart from Messi? If Messi doesn't create team can't do anything. Only in last game Dejong scored otherwise Barca is very vulnerable.

Bro this ticki tacka is not useful. See how easily team can attack. Pressing was the key in that form which this Barca can't do. Having possession doesn't mean you can play like Pep.
True, but I think soon they’ll discover it and be good. Enrique should’ve let the Spain job go to Robert Moreno and taken the Barca job. If you look at the PSG game Messi only scored a penalty and got dispossessed 4 times they didn’t rely on him. He didn’t do much. 3 key passes but he didn’t have the best game. Enrique was good for them. I hope Seiten does well

See you are partially right and wrong. Messi is there best player so obviously the team would be build around him. But the point is if Messi does it all on his own then what the point of coach. Pep team had better player tother than Messi. Valverde was criticized because he depended too much on Messi. Same is the case with Seiten. That's my point. He is doing none better than Valverde
We are Barcelona supporters and we know what’s the difference between both of the coaches, the team looks way better under stein, you’re undermining the fact that Stein hasn’t got to work with Dembele or Suarez, Suarez had scored 42% of Barca goals until the winter break, and the new coach has been deprived of that goal inlet, if stein had Suarez, Barca would be lethal right now. Look at our swag performances, under Valverde we weren’t creating chances, now we press high dominate possession and also create more chances than our opponents, you aren’t a barca supporter, so will never understand these factors.

When you have the greatest player of all time, you’re bound to depend on him, Pep was, Enrique was, so was Valverde, when you have Messi in your team, your team won’t be built around Griezman, cmon, also at a time when Suarez and Dembele aren’t available, so stop dishing out on Stein here.

Why you attack me? No coach other than Pep has been great for zbarca. All depends on Messi. Article highlights the same. Don't you agree?

Enrique was a good coach.He left on his own.
Enrique had a great team too. He also depended on Messi alot. Pep team was the best. Enrique is better than Valverde or Seiten but not that great. Anyways, we both will agree Serien and Valverde are not good enough for Barca.
