Lionel Messi said Wednesday it was
“strange” to see Barcelona locked in a row over a company accused of criticising current and former players, including himself, on social media.
Among the messages the report cited is one expressing anger towards Messi for his delay in signing a new contract and another questioning Pique’s involvement in tennis’ Davis Cup. In a statement on Monday, Barcelona denied that it was behind the messages and Bartomeu reiterated that stance on Tuesday.
Barcelona had already threatened legal action against any media organisations that “continue to implicate the club in this type of practice”. The controversy increases the pressure on Bartomeu and the Barcelona board ahead of presidential elections due next year, and following a period of political turmoil at the club.
