Blame Barcelona transfer policy, not Messi for Champions League failure – Alves

Dani Alves has questioned Barcelona’s transfer policy and defended Lionel Messi in an interview with ESPN FC following his former side’s Champions League elimination at the hands of Liverpool.

Asked whether Barcelona had lost their style of play, Alves, 36, told ESPN FC: “I agree with that somewhat. When I see stories about how Barca are now buying players to market them, you can sense that they are changing their philosophy a bit. Barca were about developing players. “Their philosophy on the pitch isn’t going to change. But it’s changed a little when it comes to the market. That happens in football. If they would have won the Treble, nobody would have said anything.

“So it sounds a little opportunistic to analyse right after elimination, against a really, really good opponent such as Liverpool.”
