Barcelona are still digesting the disappointing news after last night's 2: 5 victory (Saturday) over Betis.

Enso Patti, the club's new prodigy and leading its scorers' table in the Spanish league so far this season, was injured during the game and tests at the end confirmed fears he is suffering from a tear in the meniscus of his left knee.

Barcelona are still debating whether to operate on the promising striker or not, but according to most estimates, they will do so - even at the cost of a very prolonged absence - to prevent Patti from suffering chronic injuries later in his career.

"Given Patti's age and the high expectations from him, I'm convinced he should have surgery. Only surgery will save his meniscus," Dr Jordi Ardbol, Barcelona's doctor until recently, told Mundo Deportivo. The recovery will take at least four months. ”The recovery range ranges from three to five months, but usually return to gradual activity only after four months.

It is a big blow to Barcelona, ​​but to analyze it is necessary for the future of the club. "

But last night's game also gave a lot of reasons for optimism.

Leo Messi, who was in minor pain, started the game on the bench, but got into the second half in a storm.

The Argentine star has scored a double, including a first field goal of the season, which was enough for the Catalan media to announce that he is returning to his peak.

"The return of the goal," read the cover of "Mundo Deportivo."

"Messi looked like himself again, and with him Barcelona looked predatory again."

In the Catalan "Sport" the headline read: "Messiah the Savior."

"The Argentine star came out in the second half like the muzzle of a cannon. He starred, but the defense showed worrying signs," they wrote.

And while Messi returns to celebrate, comparisons to Cristiano Ronaldo do not stop.

Last night was required for the eternal comparison also ex-Barcelona Arturo Vidal, who provided an unequivocal answer.

"How can you compare them at all? Messi from another planet. He is the greatest player of all time," the Inter contact told Corriere della Sera.

"While I played with him in Barcelona, ​​we became close friends. I think this relationship will be maintained forever. Will he leave Barcelona? I do not know, but I can only hope that he will be happy with his decision and go with the heart."
