A short video of Lionel Messi of the final minutes of Barcelona’s match against Dynamo Kiev, on the third day of the Champions League group stage, sparked a great controversy on social media.
And the Spanish newspaper “Marca” highlighted a scene from Dynamo Kiev initiating one of the attacks on the Catalan team while Barça advanced 2-1, but Messi decided not to pressure the rival’s players.
The Argentine captain continued walking slowly, ignoring the departure of Dynamo Kiev with the ball from their penalty area, towards the middle of the Barça stadium, and the possibility that goalkeeper Ter Stegen’s goal would hit the second goal.
In another snapshot of the same game, Dynamo Kiev launched a counterattack against Barcelona, and at that time most of the Barça players were in attack state, but Messi did not hesitate to return at full speed to support Sergio Dest, who was the only one in defense.

During the last hours, some fans shared the footage, some of them criticized Messi for not supporting the team in the stadium, and some observers interpreted him that the 33-year-old forward played without a soul after being forced to stay by the previous management of the club.
Others responded and confirmed that Liu is doing his best in the game, be it up front or even returning to defense with his teammates.
