Barcelona captain Lionel Messi says this year’s unpredictable La Liga title race is a good thing, and he hopes it remains that way for the rest of the season.
Ernesto Valverde’s side saw their lead at the top cut to just a point after their surprise defeat at home to Real Betis on Sunday.
Sevilla are just a point behind the league leaders and are level on points with Atletico Madrid and Alaves - something Messi seems to approve of.
“It’s good that the league is tight and competitive this season,” he said.
