5 things that will inspire Barcelona to success this season

#3 Lionel Messi's brilliance

The Argentine has been at an unmatchable level since the beginning of the term

You are always in a great position to achieve success if you have the best player in the world playing in your team, and that is why the presence of an unstoppable Lionel Messi automatically qualifies Barcelona as a club primed to progress this season.

The Argentine international has been at an unmatchable level since the beginning of the term, tearing opposition defenses apart with his incredible talent, and sending the ball onto the back of the net almost at will to keep the LaLiga champions in pole position as they continue to march forward.

Messi is currently the top scorer across Europe's top 5 leagues, with an incredible 14 goals and 10 assists to his name in 14 LaLiga appearances for Ernesto Valverde's men, while his UEFA Champions League campaign has also been nothing short of electrifying, having sent the ball onto the back of the net a whopping 6 times, as well as setting up another one in just 4 games so far.

With the Argentine at such an extraordinary level, it's a huge indication Barcelona are well on track to achieve immense success during the campaign.
