Although Argentine star Lionel Messi has retreated from leaving Camp Nou and returning to his Spanish team Barcelona, he is experiencing the worst period in his relationship with coaches and club management since his arrival 20 years ago.
The Spanish newspaper "MARCA" reported that the final result of the struggle that took place between the captain and his club for about a month after Barcelona's humiliating defeat by Bayern Munich 2-8 left the worst possible relationship in the history of the Argentine star with the Catalan club.

The newspaper said that Messi's relationship with the club president - who has always praised the player and his skill - was completely cut off between the two parties, as he explained that there was no friendship and harmony between him and the new Dutch coach Ronald Koeman, which is confirmed by the player's image while shaking hands with the coach when he left the friendly Girona match. Avoid looking at others.
She added that this indicates that Messi will not be able to bring out the best he has on the field, and also helps to explode again when bad moments and defeats come.
The newspaper confirmed that leaving was the best option for Messi and Barcelona alike, because it would have given the player new horizons to shine, and helped the club overcome its growing economic crisis, as there is not even enough money to pay the settlement of former coach Quique Setien, who was sacked after the defeat by Bayern.
In full swing 💪

Marca indicated that Barcelona's decision to stick with Messi to please the fans is a historic mistake that may cost the club dearly, in light of the package of problems plaguing him.
