ESPN FC’s Craig Burley and Shaka Hislop break down Barcelona’s 1-0 win vs. Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium. The guys praise Lionel Messi for his winning goal for Barca, but Burley adds that Messi’s brilliance is « papering over the cracks and deficiencies » at the club and believes Ernesto Valverde might be without a job if not for his star player. Hislop says Barca are more reliant on Messi more now than when he won his first Ballon d’Or award in 2009.
