Una Locura: El Equipo Ideal Del Barcelona En La Era Messi

El efecto de Lionel Messi en la historia del Barcelona es y será imborrable. El club era grande antes de su aparición en La Masia, pero en sus 17 años junto al plantel de honor se convirtió en un coloso. A modo de ejemplo, varios en internet muestran el palmarés de los catalanes antes y después de la era Messi:

  • Títulos de Liga: 16 antes de Messi, 26 después de Messi.
  • Champions League: 1 antes de Messi, 5 después de Messi.
  • Intercontinental / Mundial de Clubes: 0 antes de Messi, 3 después de Messi.

Brutal. Pero no es todo.
