Messi blasts 'weak' team after Barcelona loses league title. MORE:
BARCELONA, Spain — After seeing Barcelona's Spanish league title defence come to a disappointing and meek end, Lionel Messi didn't hold back.
“This game represents the entire year. We have been an erratic and weak team," Messi said in a rare TV interview just after the final whistle sounded at an empty Camp Nou. “Madrid did its part by winning all its matches, which is impressive, but we also helped them to win this league. We have to be critical of how we have played, starting with the players, and the rest of the club.”
Messi scored his league-leading 23rd goal from a free kick in the second half to cancel out José Arnaíz’s opener.
