Lionel Messi gets his act straight and no longer thinks he is bigger than Barca
Lionel Messi’s recent statement in the media proves why Josep Maria Bartomeu is nothing but a disgrace to Barcelona and its history
Lionel Messi has stepped up like a brave captain to end the drama that has been going on the past few months. The 33-year-old forward was eager on leaving Barcelona after a horrific trophyless 2019/20 season. However, after attempting every strategy to push a move out of the club, Messi was forced to stay back against his will and will most likely depart next summer when his contract runs out.

Nonetheless, despite staying an additional year at the club against his will, Lionel Messi wants to give his very best for the club he adores and wants to finish his career at Camp Nou on a high note.
The Argentina international addressed the media and stated that everything he has done to date was in the best interest of Barca and that he takes full responsibility for all his mistakes. The captain went on to state
"“If at any moment, any of them were annoyed by something that I said or did, let there be no doubts that anything I did was always with the club’s best interests in mind.”- GOAL"
Lionel Messi has shown the courage to address the media and the fans about the current situation and has also admitted that he is fully responsible for all his mistakes. Meanwhile, Josep Maria Bartomeu has not yet addressed the media or the fans for any error he has committed so far.
The list of mistakes that Bartomeu has made as the president is never-ending. He has never accepted any of his mistakes and has always played the victim card during tough times. The recent departure of Luis Suarez from the club has sparked a lot of controversies.

However, like the usual, Bartomeu has wiped his slate clean and has decided not to involve himself in the matter any further. The president will remain in his office till next summer in 2021. This will be his final season as the president of the club and then it is just good riddance for one of the worst presidents ever.
