At the beginning of the current season, Barca has won 14 of their 17 games.
“This Barcelona team is amazing,” Messi remarked about his old team. “It is nothing new, it’s always happened.”
Lionel Messi has lavished his old team with accolades after their successful 2024–2025 season debut, reports Euro Sport.
Under Messi’s former teammate Xavi, the Spanish powerhouses ended 10 points behind rivals Real Madrid the previous season. They also lost to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
However, Barca has shown a different side with new manager Hansi Flick.
With 11 victories from their first 13 games, players like Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal have all flourished in the new look team, helping the team climb to the top of La Liga.
“I’m hugely proud to see how the first team is representing the club right now,” Messi told Catalan television station TV3.
“This Barca side is spectacular, although it doesn’t surprise me. It is nothing new, it’s always happened, or at least since I arrived at the club as a 13-year-old.”
