Barcelona debuted with everything in the 2020/21 Champions League. The Blaugrana cast had no mercy at the Camp Nou and got a crushing defeat against Ferencvaros by 5-1, where Lionel Messi once again took all the applause.
The Argentine continues to show that his level is not affected by the years and participated in key plays for the culé victory. Opening the scoring and assisting in the last goal, the 10th won the praise of the football world and its boss, Ronald Koeman.
The culé strategist spoke to the media after the win and surrendered at the feet of Messi, who said he had nothing to ask him if he continued playing as he did on this day.

“If he does a game like tonight, I can’t complain about Leo. He has worked hard, he has scored a penalty but I also scored a penalty. If he doesn’t put it in, he gives two or three assists, we can’t ask for more“, he launched proud of his pupil.
For Koeman the victory is key to raising the spirits of the squad, which has faced several criticisms at the start of La Liga in Spain. “There are people at the top with performance and that is the best for a coach. I think we have shown that we have very good people at the top. With a great Leo, and in that sense we are happy“.
Of course, the coach emphasized that the team must maintain the game during the 90 minutes. “I’m happy but the only thing that makes me unhappy is that sometimes we slow down during the game. If the team can increase the pace, we are very good. You have to play with a lot of intensity and a lot of ball rhythm“.
