On Tuesday evening, the football world was shaken by a huge news - the symbol of "Barcelona" Lionel Messi informed the club's management that he wants to leave the team. Although the Argentine has a valid contract until next summer, L. Messi wants to take advantage of the possibility provided in the agreement to terminate it earlier. However, the "Barcelona" leaders are not willing to easily part with their leader, as in their opinion, L. Messi no longer has the option to unilaterally terminate the contract.
Such news about the team's leader was also reacted to by the fans of "Barcelona" who gathered on Tuesday evening at the "Camp Nou" stadium, where they expressed support for L. Messi and asked him to stay while demanding the resignation of Josep Maria Bartomeu at the same time. "Barca" ended the 2019-2020 season very unsuccessfully, but J. M. Bartomeu decided to remain in his position until the presidential elections scheduled for next year in March. It is believed that this decision also greatly contributed to L. Messi's desire to leave.
