The Catalans are now eight points behind league leaders Atletico.
Messi admits Barca ‘shouldn’t have dropped so many points’ this term.
Nevertheless, the 33-year-old refuses to give up on the La Liga trophy.
“We are going to try and win everything, as is always the case with this club. We are improving little-by-little. It’s true to say that it took us a little while to get going in La Liga. We shouldn’t have dropped so many points,” Lionel Messi told Marca upon winning his 7th Pichichi trophy on Monday.
“I think we deserved more in the games against Alaves and Getafe, and also against Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. In those three games we created a lot of goalscoring chances, and if we had converted them, the situation in those games would have been different.
“Now the important thing is to have a streak of good results in a few games order to move up the table. This takes time and with the pandemic, all the games are very difficult. The truth is football has changed a lot, and it’s difficult for everyone, but step-by-step things will settle.”
Barcelona have taken 21 points from the opening 13 matches in La Liga this season. Ronald Koeman’s men are now fifth in the table, nine points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid who have one game in hands over the Catalans.
