Lionel Messi has been in the top rankings of the world’s best players in recent years. The proof, La Pulga has won six Ballon d’Or titles.

This season, the attacker’s impressive performance hasn’t slowed down. Messi has packed 23 goals plus 16 assists in 30 matches.

However, the incision was not enough to make Gatti provide slick value for Messi. Moreover, in fact, Barcelona only ranks second in the LaLiga standings under Real Madrid.

“Lionel Messi was a phenomenal player, but he no longer has that figure at this time. He now walked more often on the pitch. Messi must play better,” explained Gatti as reported by El Chiringuito.

“Lionel Messi must be even better. He now already start to perform in a tiring tempo, walking, and they know football will feel the same. Come on, rise up Messi, you have to perform with great performance.”

“When there are players like Messi, I feel like with Maradona and Pele where his teammates always give the ball to him. The goal is to win the game,” Gatti said.
