Bartomeu on Neymar saga: "Barça never offered players to PSG. It was them who asked for it. We decided not to continue talks with PSG because their demands could not be met. We don't have plans to sign Neymar in January.

I think they all feel desperate at this point mate, not just Messi. Real Madrid winning it 3 in a row is what caused that desperation in the entire club and fanbase. Losing at Anfield was a tremendous blow and just goes to show you can't just put it all on one man. Valverde hardly has a system in place, he relies heavily on Messi's creativity, and when he's nullified because the midfield collapses, well then having 2 players that are great in those situations is key. Messi created like 8 chances, some very clear ones at that. Suarez has a horrendous track record in away cl matches - can't trust him with finishing away. With someone like Neymar at least 1 goes in, thats 100% certain.
