The Catalan newspaper "Sport" sheds light on the results of the Spanish team Barcelona at the local and European levels, 6 months after the departure of the club's legend, Lionel Messi, last summer.
And Lionel Messi left Barcelona last summer to Paris Saint-Germain in a free transfer deal, due to Barca's inability to extend his contract due to the economic crisis.
And the newspaper "Sport", in a report issued on Monday morning, said that 6 months after the departure of Lionel Messi, the character was absent from the Blaugrana, and the Catalan team has become without identity until now.
The newspaper added, that Barcelona, in the absence of Messi, reached the fifth place in the table of the Spanish League, and did not reach the qualifying position for the European Champions League until this moment.
She pointed out that Barcelona left the Champions League this season, from the group stage for the first time in 20 years, and scored only two goals in the competition.
Barca also lost 2-3 to its arch-rivals Real Madrid, in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals, in addition to bidding farewell to the King's Cup from the round of 16 against Athletic Bilbao, also the first time since 2010.
Barcelona won only 12 matches out of 30 matches this season in all competitions.
The newspaper concluded, with its report that Barcelona is also suffering on the economic level after Messi’s departure, as no new sponsor entered the club, and the sale of shirts decreased alarmingly, and the fans did not go to the stands to enjoy Messi like past years.
