When Leo Messi is not, the FC Barcelona notices it. Although in the last markets of signings has taken advantage of to improve the provision of the staff and have of a much more competitive bench that antaño, the absence of the best player of the world leaves an empty incomensurable, as it is logical, in a team that turns around him and has him like angular stone.

Without Leo Messi the FC Barcelona is not the same able team to knit played offensives out of nowhere, and to marvel to the world to base of vertiginous mobility of the balloon, passes to the space and definitions to a touch. The Barça has much less 'tiki-taka', and goes back much earthlier.

From here that the Raise, a team very very planted and that aúna impetus and quality, achieved to win to the culés in the gone of the eighth of final of the Glass of the King 2018-19. After the 2-1 harvested in the Ciutat of València, a lot of fans culés ask now on if it would be or no necessary plant to Leo Messi of start in the party of turn.

True is that the FC Barcelona so only needs to win 1-0 to surpass to the 'granotas' in the eliminatory, but the arrival of that so much will be much easier with the presence of the best player of the world in the field. To be fair, the logical would be that Ernesto Valverde himself summoned to Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and the other 'cracks' absent in the party of this Thursday.

This yes, an effective strategy could be leave them in the bench -included Leo Messi- and see how evolves the party in the first-half. It is possible that with the same artillery of this Thursday, next week in the Camp Nou, the Barça achieve to mark soon one or two goals that allow him face with optimism the rest of the eliminatory.

Messi could go in to the rest to trace back

If this goal did not arrive, to the rest already yes that Valverde would opt for giving entrance to Leo Messi, and can that also to Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Rakitic and/or some another heavy weight of which have not been present in the Ciutat of València. The paramount, in any case, will be to have to Leo Messi available to get dressed of short and go out to the field when the situation require it.

With the '10', was in the bench or on the lawn, the FC Barcelona has an ace in the sleeve that is not able to have any another team of the world. The priority would be that Leo Messi did not have to appear neither in the party of turn, but the course of the events will dictate sentence. And, against a team like the Raise, the Barça never can trust.
