Messi will lead Barcelona's charge for the Champions League one more time
Once again, Barcelona's hopes of winning the UEFA Champions League will rest on the shoulder of one man - Lionel Messi. Simply indispensable and insurmountable, it is very difficult to imagine La Blaugrana winning the European trophy without their talismanic forward.

After leading the Catalans to claim both the La Liga title and the Copa Del Rey trophy last term, the Argentine will step up once again to spearhead the team in their European quest.
The playmaker has been Barcelona's best player in the Champions League for the past few years, bagging incredible numbers of goals, producing plenty of assists and that will definitely continue this season.
As the captain of the team, Messi's role will be more than scoring goals and creating chances. The attacker will also be charged with the responsibility of keeping the team together on the pitch, inspiring his teammates and producing magical moments to decide the fate of games.
