Argentine superstar Lionel Messi told reporters that he is confident that Barcelona will be “very strong” title contenders next season. According to Messi, Barcelona have all the necessary ingredients to win a championship and he also said that he is really excited to play with some of the greatest players of the modern era like Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry.

Barcelona’s new signings for the new season include the likes of Thierry Henry from Arsenal, Gabriel Milito from Real Zaragoza, and Eric Abidal from Olympique Lyon.

Messi, who is one of six forwards vying for a first team place this season, firmly believes that current team is very powerful in all the positions and the strong competition in the squad, particularly in the attack, will definitely be a big boost for the side as they look to win both the Spanish first division and the Champions League next season.
