Lionel Messi believes Barcelona fans are “running out of patience” after losing his League crown to Real Madrid after high-profile failures in the Champions League against Liverpool and Rome.
Madrid was crowned the League winner tonight after a 2-1 win over Villarreal, while Barcelona lost 2-1 at home to Osasuna.
Messi was part of the Barcelona team that fell from the Champions League semi-final at Anfield last season after leading the first leg by three goals. They also imploded against the Roma in the quarterfinal stage of the previous period.

And the Argentine believes that Barcelona will come out again if they do not change their fortune on the field with a decisive round of the second round against Napoli that is approaching in August.
“Rome, Liverpool … the fans are running out of patience because we are not giving them anything,” Messi said. “If we want to fight for the Champions League, a lot has to change. In this way, we will lose to Napoli.”
“We didn’t want to end the season like this, but it represents how the season has gone. We were a very erratic team, very weak and low intensity …
“We lost a lot of points and today’s game is a summary of the season.”
“We were inconsistent during the season. Real Madrid did their thing. We lost a lot of points. We have to do some self-criticism. We are Barça “.
