Barcelona "video cover" sparks controversy again over Messi's absence
The cover of the Barcelona first team video on Twitter is missed by Messi, while it appears in the "YouTube Cover".

Barcelona supporters' remarks did not stop at this event, according to the newspaper "Sport", but they said that Messi appeared at lightning moments, and doubted that he had filmed, especially since he appeared with a thick beard completely different to his shape in the past two months, and this is in addition to that he is the only one who did not appear. Smiling.
It is noteworthy that the video relates to the official and final squad after the closing of the transfer market, in which Barcelona will contest the new season, and the players were presented upwards by their shirt numbers.
The video comes after a major crisis between Messi and the club, during which he demanded last summer to leave, before he was forced to leave due to the penalty clause, and he would leave for free next summer at the end of his contract.
And Messi had previously criticized the club's management, whether in his crisis or in the case of getting rid of his companion, Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan who had recently transferred to Atletico Madrid.
