Lionel Messi has said Barcelona’s shock 4-0 defeat by Liverpool which sent them crashing out of the Champions League has ruined their season as they look to complete a domestic double when they face Valencia in the Copa del Rey final on Saturday.
In his first news conference in over four years and his first media appearance since this month’s 4-3 semi-final aggregate reverse, the usually tight-lipped Messi did not hold back in his criticism of Barca’s display at Anfield.
