5 things Lionel Messi must do to become the best in the world again

#2 Help Barcelona win the Champions League

Juventus v FC Barcelona - UEFA Champions League Final — FC Barcelona hasn't won the UEFA Champions League since 2015

It is almost an unwritten rule that the club who wins the Champions League gets their best player rewarded with the individual accolades.

Whenever Real Madrid won the Champions League, Ronaldo scooped up all the personal awards, ditto Messi with Barcelona.

Barca have been extremely dominant domestically, winning seven out of the last ten La Liga titles, and winning each of the last four Copa del Rey trophies consecutively, but it is in Europe where their heart really lies, as the Blaugrana haven’t triumphed on the continent since 2015, which was made more painful by the fact that their arch-rivals Real Madrid won each of the last three titles.

Barcelona are desperate to win the ‘Big Ears’, and would be counting on Messi to help deliver it, and for the sake of rising back to the summit, he would also do well to help achieve it.
