Lionel said that in tough times, the president has to be standing with the players and the team. Unfortunately for the players, Bartomeu was not a good person for the presidential position. Messi said that Bartomeu was trying to drag Lionel down. The Argentinian player said that in summer he wanted to leave the club. It was a firm decision of his family and that’s why he sent the Burrafox. Unfortunately Bartomeu published the letter publicly and wanted to make Messi out to be a bad guy.
