Lionel Messi is a force to reckon with. Barcelona haven't felt the impact of some of the best players to have graced Camp Nou leaving the camp thanks to the exploits of the diminutive Argentine who has made a habit out of leaving us with our jaws on the floor. However, what happened at Anfield in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final was anything but.

Humbled by a group led by the hungry Jurgen Klopp, Barcelona found themselves in one of the most embarrassing moments in their recent Champions League history after having conceded a defeat from a greatly advantageous position. As such, the club is reconsidering their transfer market strategy.

And now, Lionel Messi has made it clear to the top brass that he wants at least 3 players signed up in the summer if Barca are to be strong enough to challenge on all fronts next season. He wants Atletico Madrid Antoine Griezmann to be one of the Cules' priority signings.

Messi has also asked for the signings of Joshua Kimmich from Bayern Munich as an alternative to Nelson Semedo- with the view that Roberto is more suited to play midfield- and Matthijs De Ligt from Ajax.
