Yeah right. That midfield was a joke compared to Germany's and even Netherland's. Fullbacks were fvckin terrible too. Messi was left alone supposedly too do it all on his own. Even with this nonexistent support he did a half decent job in 1st half.
Fvcken hell when they missed those one-on-one chances it was inevitable to sooner or later concede one. the team around Messi was pretty meh though. Can't blame him.
