Barcelona ace Lionel Messi believes Real Madrid may struggle to gel their new team.
"The rivals for the Champions League are always the same: the English, who are very strong, and Real Madrid, with all its reinforcements - but will need time to blend with new coaches, new players."
On Samuel Eto'o's departure to Inter Milan, Messi added: "A deal that has left me surprised, because Samuel has given so much to Barcelona, with the amount of goals he scored, the titles he has won.
"He was a very important player. But so was Ibrahimovic to Inter, he was an essential player."
