Barça: Messi absent from the group – Fil Info – Champions League

After a very poor start to the season in La Liga (8th with 3 defeats in 8 games), Barça shows a completely different face in C1. But against Dynamo Kiev, this Tuesday evening at 9 p.m., it will be more complicated than expected since the Blaugrana club has just announced its group of selected players and we do not find Lionel Messi or De Jong.

In a press conference, Ronald Koeman explained his choices. “We chose not to take Messi and de Jong with us in Kiev because we have injuries and our situation in the Champions League is comfortable with nine points. Now is the time for them to rest. Messi and de Jong have played every game, and not just with Barca, but also with their selection. And in Leo’s case, there are also the trips to South America. We have to protect the players, it’s impossible that they are always on top. ”
