Barcelona drew 0-0 with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League earlier this week.

Facing Borussia Dortmund is already hard as it is but facing them at Signal Iduna Park in front of the roaring crowd of the Yellow Wall makes it that much more complicated.

For that reason, maybe exiting that clash with a point under their belts is not the worst thing to happen to the Spanish club in recent times. After all, they've had worse in the ongoing 2019/20 La Liga campaign.

The Blaugrana have so far chalked up two wins, one draw and one defeat to their names in their domestic competition back in Spain and even though the blame gets shared around the locker room, one specific issue was also pretty apparent - there was no Lionel Messi up until this point in time.

Barcelona's talisman has been injured for six weeks. For that reason, the Argentine has missed all four of Barcelona's initial La Liga clashes and has made his first appearance of the season at Signal Iduna Park.

By all means, after waiting through Messi's 115-day battle with injuries, the fans surely must've felt relieved to see him back on the pitch and that image of the King returning back into action must've felt really good for all Blaugrana fans.

Still, even though it is Messi we're talking about and even though we all know how good of a player he actually is, his cameo appearance in Germany wasn't enough to nudge Barcelona towards a triumph and all three points on the night.

The two teams, therefore, shared the spoils of war and settled for a draw, a result that the home team might frown upon seeing how they missed a penalty along with a plethora of other opportunities during the game.

Even with a certain Argentine on the pitch, the Catalans couldn't do much to threaten the German team but even the arguably greatest player of all time should be given some slack and time to get to his brilliant best.

Currently, the only important thing for Barcelona and their fans is that Messi is back and that he's fit to continue.

Everything else, knowing him, should follow suit.
