Barcelona was knocked out of the Champions League by eventual winner Liverpool in a dramatic semi-final in May but ended the season as LaLiga champions for the second successive campaign. Ahead of Barca's 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the Joan Gamper Trophy, five-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi addressed the crowd on Sunday. Messi did not play in the match, having only returned from holiday, but took the opportunity to outline his hopes for the new season and reflect on the club's achievements during his time in Catalonia. "It's hard to say something after last season, but I don't regret anything," said Messi. "But I have no doubt that together we are going to fight again for everything.READ | Simeone hints timing of Griezmann exit good for their relationship "We won eight league titles in 11 years.
