Hug a Barcelona fan in your life, they need it.

Unless they’ve been insufferable, then it’s time to turn the pain up.

Messi will go to Man City and then be left on the bench for a crucial Champions League quarter final second leg against Sevilla, as Guardiola plays an inverted 2-3-1-4 and they get knocked out on away goals
