17 Jul 2020 06:44AMMADRID: A frustrated Lionel Messi called for change after Barcelona handed the La Liga title to Real Madrid on Thursday , warning the team will lose in the Champions League as well if they fail to improve.
"The feeling of the team is that it tries but can't do it, that we leave a lot to be desired in many areas and today in the first half I think they were better than us," Messi said after the loss to Osasuna. "We didn't expect or want to finish like this but it almost sums up the whole year," said Messi."We have been very inconsistent, very weak, beaten on intensity or desire.
"We lost a lot of games that we should not have lost and we have to be self-critical, starting with the players, but it has to be a total self-criticism from everyone because we are Barcelona and we are obliged to win the matches whatever happens and instead look at us."
