Barcelona have been defeated 2-0 in Sunday's El Clasico, but there might be a more serious blow for them.
Barca captain Messi has been criticized after their defeat at Santiago Bernabeu, but the French media claims that he played with an injury during El Clasico.
According to journalist Fred Hermel on the RMC radio, Messi has some reasons for not playing well in that match.
"I saw one of the worst Barca I've ever seen. Barca have only 15 players in the first team, it's impossible to succeed in La Liga and Champions League with only 15 players. Messi plays with knee pain. He plays 20% of his ability." said Fred Hermel.
Messi was spotted arriving in Madrid with a limp before El Clasico. See the video below.

How most media and most pundits describe Messi and Ronaldo. 1. Ronaldo dribbles, takes a shot, goal or miss.., they go he is selfish. Messi dribbles, takes a shot, goal or miss.., the word selfish doesn't exist. 2. Messi goes deep in midfield, scores and help the team win..., they said he is team player. Ronaldo goes down and defend free kicks, corners, scores and help the team win.., yet they said he is no team player. 3. They look at the history and present of Messi but look at only the present of Ronaldo. 4. They will show in most highlights or replay how Messi respects opponents and hide his dark sides but will hide those good gestures of Ronaldo and show his dark side.

Why you guys have so much hatred to MESSI. it was clearly seen that he was injured. and was playing with discomfort. and honestly I knew this from that 4 goal eibar match only that he has some discomfort. and in Napoli match he was surely injured i am not saying it is big injury i think it is a minor discomfort. Messi was not able to run with the ball and he did lose control of the ball at vital points. and madrid and Napoli defense are much hard than that of eibar. Eibar played their style of attack ing. making it possible for messi to find spaces. If you watch all last three matches he played very slow. and the news of injury came out way before the eibar clash. and who all are saying that why. did he play. simple he wanted to carry his team. and there was no proper replacement and didn't to want to increase the burden on the board with so much thin squad. .Even ronaldo would have done the same thing but Ronaldo plays a No.9. so he can score. and you will not criticize him but messi is a playmaker who scores with link up plays from the midfield even his passes were inaccurate in el classico. so please guys don't think it as a excuse. its the reality.

When Messi is injured he doesn’t play, the last one he didn’t you people should stop lying I think lies are for kids please, against Eibar he played with full ability? Or he didn’t play with full ability too against Napoli?

Those lame excuses, we hear that for a few months already, cmon. If they won he probably didn’t have an injury. Dude is getting old and isnt the messi like he always was, that’s life.

When Messi was not scoring goals but assisting, media tagged him injured... right now he has been missing in big games, he's now injured.. 😅😅 KEEP DECEIVING YOURSELVES.. ALL I KNOW IS, HARDWORK PAYS BETTER THAN TALENT. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

A player scored four goals in one match and one of those goals was a solo effort. the while world called him the Goat. theme players missed two sitters and disappeared in the next match and all of a sudden he was injured....

What a big lie, Messi was fit in that game. If has played well and scored no one will talk about injury besides, he had one on one with the keeper more than once, was it injury that stopped him from scoring. Please stop those stupid lies and praise Real Madrid for their superb display especially in second half.

I mean he has said from tue beginning of the season that he plays through injury and pain and that he isnt 100% amd he was even seem limping before the el clasico. The fact that this man is still the top scorer and top assister in la liga despite missing 1/4 of the season and the rest 3/4 playing through injury is simply remarkable.
