H.Stoichkov: "Barcelona" should pamper L. Messi

Bulgarian football legend Hristo Stoichkov said that the "Barcelona" team should better protect and defend their leader Lionel Messi.

The former famous striker criticized the Catalan club management for their behavior towards the Argentine.

"There are constant talks about fines, new contracts, permissions for advertising. But we should protect and pamper the best player on the planet.

Messi should finish his career in Barcelona, not elsewhere. Therefore, the team must pay more attention to him," the Bulgarian said.

"I think that there is currently chaos in the Barcelona team and everything is upside down. The days may return when the team was led by Louis van Gaal - then they won the title, but only 13,000 people came to the stadium. The team is on the same path," Stoichkov said.
