Leo Messi stood up as captain at the end of the match and his statements were extremely harsh against the team and called for drastic changes in the face of the Champions League dispute.
“I already told you that if we continued like this it was not enough for the Champions League and it has not given us even for the LaLiga. We are going to have to change a lot if we want to do something and do a lot of self-criticism starting with ourselves. We have lost because of our mistakes and not because of Madrid's successes, as many say. A few words that sound like a sentence to the coach.

The Argentine reiterated several times that from now on “you have to start from scratch in the Champions League and you have to do a lot of self-criticism. We did not lose because the rival was better. The truth is that we did not want to end this way, but this game marks how it was all year. The team has been spotty and weak. It is not normal that they beat us for intensity and desire. We lost points that we shouldn't have missed. This sums up our year. “
Asked if Madrid was a fair champion, the Blaugrana captain was devastating: “Madrid did their thing after the break and did not lose games, but we helped a lot so that they could take it. We lost points that we shouldn't lose. You have to do self-criticism. We are Barça and we have to win everything ”.
The fire is out of control.
