#1 Rest Leo Messi in un-important games

FC Barcelona v Juventus - UEFA Champions League
GOAT

Barcelona has been heavily dependent on Messi. The little man is made to play every La Liga game and is rarely given a day off. He doesn't show tiredness in games, but I’m sure fatigue hits him hard as well. It’s the same with Busquets and Pique, too. Valverde needs to build trust on his bench players, and give them chances to play. Vermalean and Gomes are great players, and they can take the job with great determination.

Messi needs to be given rest in some La Liga games. He is the best player in the world, but he is a human being after all. You can’t be over-dependent on him. And in place of Messi, Dembele or Coutinho can take up the job.

Barcelona v Villarreal - La Liga

Dembele is always more free when Messi is not around because their game style is similar. Dembele dribbles exactly like Messi, with immense pace and speed. Just that Messi is way better than Dembele in tight spaces. The Frenchman can certainly take up Messi’s job in games which are not crucial.
