Barca have won just 55.9% of their league games without Messi since his debut in 2004.
Barcelona failed to win without Leo Messi again on Tuesday night and Opta provide some stats which say it all about the captain’s importance to the Catalan club.
Since Leo’s debut in October 2004, Barca have won just 55.9% of their La Liga games without him.
They’ve won 73.7% of their league games with Messi, though.
Messi didn’t play against Eibar due to some ankle issues.
This season, the captain has missed only 3 games: he was rested for the Champions League clashes against minnows Dynamo Kyiv and Ferencvaros.
