Messi is looking for the 35th title in his career with Barcelona, which may be the last for him in the Catalan club’s shirt, if the team continues to decline in the League, in addition to the possible departure of the flea next summer.

Barcelona also seeks to win its first titles this season under the leadership of coach Ronald Koeman, and not to go out with a zero season, and take revenge against Bilbao after his defeat in the Spanish Super Championship last January.
