Messi's message
After the 2-1 home loss against Osasuna and the failure to win the La Liga title this season, Messi in his interview after the game said some things about who to blame, the Champions League, and then sent a message to the fans.
Messi commended Real Madrid for winning all their 10 games since the restart of La Liga, but he admitted that Barca helped them by dropping points. He went on to say that Barca have to be more concerned about their own performances and not that of their rival (Madrid). He mentioned that all Barca players and everyone at the club need to be 'self-critical' which means they need to realize their mistakes, and start making corrections and improvement.
About the Champions League, Messi emphasized that Barca can't win the trophy if they continue playing the way they've been playing which didn't help them win the La Liga. He said that if Barca do not make changes, they won't be able to beat Napoli.
To all Barca supporters, Messi admitted that he is aware all Barca fans are angry about the disappointment the club have caused this season, and he said it is normal for fans to be angry. He said all Barca fans are losing patience because the club haven't been given them anything.
