Mascherano: Noone is bigger than the club except Leo
In the club magazine he was asked about his team-mate for club and country, and the Argentine said: "He is indispensable. Leo is a unique player. We are talking about the best player in history, in this sport and of this club.
"There have been very important players in the last few years at Barcelona. Players who will stay in the history of the club. I think it's a big error to think that when you leave the club, the club will suffer.
"No, the club is bigger than any player, any other player, except for Leo. That's the reality and you have to accept it."
Mascherano had said that "the big error for a footballer is to think you are indispensable" and he's clear that beyond Messi, there are no players of that ilk.

if mascherano think about barcelona only, maybe he is correct
but when it come to the football sport as a whole, he was wrong
messi to barcelona is like riquelme to boca juniors
still no replacement till now, sadly..........

Will be interesting to see if he renews with Barcelona next summer, I think this is closest of him leaving the club. I also think it's fine what ever he decides, but I rather see him playing his prime in a working team, rather than waste his prime getting the ball from the goalie.

Judging by the context of the sentence what he's saying is that Messi is irreplaceable, which is true. If Messi leaves there are not other 5 Messi level footballers you can sign instead.

Messi is most crucial player for us now more than ever. We are in transition and he is this only player that can make it smooth. He is the only man that will decide if Barca wil rise again or will it be reduce to former great now pub level teams like Milan.

Re: Mascherano: Noone is bigger than the club except Leo
Not really
Messi is incredible but did he stop us from being rolled over 4-0? No. Is that level of play acceptable? No. Is the problem Messi? Not all of it, but watching him walk around the pitch like he was more interested in the Doritos he didn't get to finish at half time than winning the game summed up the performance of him and the team.
Messi himself is surely irreplaceable, but the team can reach new heights without him. He destroys the press and offers no off the ball movement. I do not necessarily wish for him to leave but if it must be so, I won't argue against it.
