5 positive developments we have witnessfor Barcelona so far this season

#1. The Messidepencia curse finally over

The Catalans proved that they can perform well even in the absence of their talisman

With Lionel Messi, Barcelona has proved almost unbeatable during the past few years and the club became so reliant on the playmaker that they often failed to impress in his absence during those seasons. However, one of the most exciting developments at the Nou Camp so far this term has to do with the club's ability to dazzle even without their talisman.

After Messi was ruled out of action for 3 weeks following an arm injury he sustained during a recent La Liga encounter against Sevilla, many people were eager to see Barcelona suffer in his absence. However, the team stepped up at the right moment to prove that there is more to Barcelona than the mercurial Argentine.

With the playmaker out, the Blaugrana recorded an unbelievable 4 victories and 1 draw in their last 5 games across all competitions, including a 5-1 humiliation of arch-rivals Real Madrid during the El-Clasico as well as an impressive 2-0 victory against Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
