Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admits he was hoping for more from Lionel Messi.
Messi goes into games against Ferencvaros and Real Madrid this week without a goal in open play this season, with his penalty against Villarreal in the first week of the season his only strike to date.
“Maybe, at the moment, Messi’s performances could be better,” Koeman said on Monday.
“But he’s happy, he’s working hard and he wants to be the captain. I don’t have a single complaint. He has also had some bad luck. He hit the post [in Saturday’s 1-0 loss to Getafe] and on another day that goes in.
“I don’t have any doubts about his performances and we’re going to see him [at his best] in the upcoming games, I’m sure.”
