The German legend has voiced his admiration for both the Champions League holders and the World Cup winners, but says the Catalans are better because of their star player
He does actually, he makes tons of assists that most others on the team rarely do or execute horribly. Argentina needs Messi just as bad as it needs Higuain or any other top player.
Messi works in Barcas system the problem with Argentina is the other players cannot play Barcas system they tried on Copa America and failed HORRIBLY. In the world cup they tried a regular system under Maradonna and Messi although played well in that system didn't play as great as the system used by Barca. So that's the problem with him in Argentina. You can suit Messi but not Argentina it sucks but that's the truth.
Well they only lost against Uruguay, the team that won the South American cup and got fourth place in the last world cup, not bad if you ask me. As for Messi, some of the goals that Higuain and Aguero made were thanks to Messi's accurate passes, but I admit that I would want to see him do more then just pass. He did make a goal against Chile in their last game, so I guess we'll have to give him some time.
Spain > Barcelona
Too bad Messi can't make Argentina a better team.
