Barcelona's fans shouldn't be worried, since Messi believes it's all part of a well-thought out plan.
The Argentinean superstar, who hasn't been able to score in the last four games for Los Blaugranas, posted a message on his Facebook profile, urging the team's supporters to keep calm ahead of the crucial UEFA Champions League Quarter final match against Atlético. Los Blaugranas took a one-goal lead from the first leg of the series, but their recent performances in La Liga have been the cause of some concern after losing two consecutive domestic games facing Real Madrid and Real Sociedad.
This was Messi's full message via Facebook.
Messi is currently undergoing one of his worst goal scoring droughts, not being able to score for 362 minutes of football. He hadn't struggled to score goals in a similar way since 2011, a year in which Los Blaugranas also won the UEFA Champions League under Pep Guardiola.
