Barca struggled to beat Arsenal to win the Joao Gamper Trophy, their first title of the 2019-2020 season. Although it is just a friendly trophy, after a poor season, this trophy has a great meaning for Barca's journey in the new season.
Speaking after winning the Joao Gamper Trophy, Messi told the fans at Camp Nou: "It's hard to talk about last season, but I don't regret anything."
"We will fight for all the titles together in the next season. We have won 8 La Liga titles in 11 years. We have not given this title the respect it deserves, but if we look back, we will see that it has been a difficult journey."
"This club is always fighting for every title and next season will not be an exception. Our dream has come alive again. Visca Barca and Visca Catalunya!"
"We will try to win every title together with the quality and enthusiasm of everyone. Hopefully, it will bring titles to our beloved fans".
"We will keep dreaming," Messi affirmed.
Coach Ernesto Valverde also expressed his disappointment with the results last season and promised to make efforts in the next season. "We always want to win in all competitions," he said. "We can do it with the talent and the efforts of all the players."
Barcelona have not won the Champions League since the win over Juventus in 2015, bringing their total titles to five. During that time, their arch-rivals Real Madrid have achieved the feat of winning 3 consecutive championships and bringing their total number of titles to 13.
With quality contracts this season, Barca athletes can be completely confident with the 2019-2020 Champions League Cup in Barca's traditional room.
