You can’t play 50-plus games per season, never mind international matches, and expect to retain a consistently high level of play—especially when the bar is set as high as it is for Lionel Messi.
The Argentine maestro has appeared visibly tired in recent matches (he was a shadow of himself against AC Milan in the Champions League last week) and was rubbed off the ball with relative ease on several occasions on Tuesday.
With Barcelona having all but locked up the Primera Division title, look for Messi to be given some extra nights off during the stretch run, although by then it could be too late for the Catalans’ European ambitions.
