'Messi Is A Natural Winner. He Doesn't Like Losing'

'Messi Is A Natural Winner. He Doesn't Like Losing'

Former FC Barcelona star Dani Alves is of the opinion that Lionel Messi's frustration is growing with the lack of support in recent seasons.

The Catalan giants had to watch Real Madrid lift the LaLiga title on Thursday following their 2-1 loss to Osasuna on the same night.

Messi let his frustration loose after the encounter and criticised Blaugrana for being 'weak' and a 'low-intensity' team, but Alves feels Messi is not getting the support.

"When the team loses, it's normal he gets angry, he always wants to win. Just like me. We always want to win.

"He's been doing what he does for so long, he knows when a team gives one thing and when it gives another. That's why he says what works and what doesn't because he knows.

"He's spent so many years at Barca, experienced so many things, and he knows exactly what the team needs to win.

"He sees, what I feel, a lack of support.

"I'll always say that Messi is the main course and we were the perfect ingredients for that plate. Now I have the feeling that he's doing everything, all the time, and we must remember he's only human."
