Messi, off the list

Bandaged on his left leg, Leo Messi stayed in the stands of the Nuevo El Arcángel and did not even enter the list in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Sociedad. The Argentine confirmed the worst forecasts of the morning and, with discomfort in the biceps femoris in his left leg in Granada that got worse, he did not start. The feelings of the Argentine in training yesterday had not been good and the big question now is whether he would reach one hundred percent to play the final as long as Barça eliminate Real Sociedad.

Messi was not the only injury loss at Barça. The Dutch Sergiño Dest, injured in Granada, where he played a good part of the match, was not in a position to start and was replaced by Mingueza.
