The former FC Barcelona defender said Messi is untouchable and not to blame for the debacle in England earlier this week and blames the board and management for their flawed transfer policies and also feels that Barcelona is not the team it used to be.
In case you didn’t know..
Alves plied his trade at Barcelona for eight years and built a lethal partnership with Messi as the Brazilian loved setting up the Argentine.
The heart of the matter
In a recent interview with ESPN, Alves came to his former teammate Lionel Messi’s defense as Barcelona crumbled against Liverpool 4-0 in the second leg even after taking a commanding lead of 3-0 in the first leg as he went on to state:
Alves, when asked whether Barcelona had lost their style of play, had a different take on it and implied the transfer policies and board are to blame for it as he said
What’s next?
Barcelona would be looking to put this debacle behind them and move towards winning the Copa Del Rey as they face Valencia in the finals and would hope to go all the way next season in the UCL.
