'Won't Get into Conflict with Him': Barca Chief Bartomeu Does Not Want More Disputes with Lionel Messi

News 18  

Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said he does not wish to have any more disputes with captain Lionel Messi after the Argentinian reluctantly opted to stay at the club this month after failing to force through a move. He’s our captain and the leader of our team,” Bartomeu told Catalan television network TV3 before the team’s 1-0 friendly win over Elche on Saturday. But Bartomeu chose not to fire back against Barca’s all-time top scorer, instead praising Messi for turning a page and performing well in the team’s pre-season matches, including scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Girona last week. The best player in the world should stay at our home.” Bartomeu has been in the firing line ever since Barca’s historic 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals last month.
