Only ninth in the league
Unzue was clear that Messi would definitely continue to give his best and maintain his high standards. The 33-year-old has scored seven times in 14 official games this season, scoring four in the league and three in the Champions League, where he reached the round of 16 as group runners-up behind Juventus Turin. At the national level, the Catalans are far behind their expectations. In the championship you are ninth after ten games with only 14 points. The leader Atlético de Madrid is already twelve points away, while the fourth-placed Real Madrid, which has played one more game, is six points away.
So there is still a lot of work waiting for manager Ronald Koeman, who has been in charge since mid-August. “Koeman manages Messi and the team well. The situation is not easy because it is more difficult to start at a great club that is used to winning titles when they stop winning,” said Unzue. On Sunday, Barcelona want to return to winning ways in the league game at home against Levante after two competitive defeats.
