It seems that people from Barcelona are very unhappy with the situation, especially the fact that Messi has flown for 27 hours for a friendly match in which he not played.

“Injury does not seem to be so serious as we feared, but a definitive diagnosis will be known after further tests.” the Catalan club announced today.

For Messi and company it’s expected a full end of a year, with matches on the treadmill because his club team is engaged in the battle for both domestic competitions, and for the Champions League trophy.

Barcelona will travel to Villareal in the next stage and try to keep their lead of five points in front of Real Madrid, the galactic team will play against Sporting Gijon. But Messi has about o% chances to deliver for this one.
