The decisions of the club have not liked to the 'heavy weights', that have not doubted in launching hard public criticisms to which until yesterday was his directive.

In the first place, they did not like the sportive decisions that, in passing, salpicaron the economy of the club.

Neither it liked to the staff the goodbye of the 'Txingurri' and less after not finish to understand with Quique Setién and his 'staff', in a tension that aggravated by the exits of tone of Éder Sarabia in the Classical.

The internal war with the directive aggravated with the ridiculous to the hour to try fichar to Xavi Hernández and with the 'rajada' of Eric Abidal, that caused that Leo Messi loaded against the French in social networks. Later, destapó the 'Barçagate' and, with the economic crisis derivative of the coronavirus, arrived the request of descent of wages accompanied of leaks to the press to force to the players to accept.

Finish the season in white and with a sonrojante 2-8 against the Bayern of Munich caused that Josep Maria Bartomeu threw to Quique Setién and, beside Ronald Koeman, took decisions that did not like like the ways employed in the goodbye of Luis Suárez or Arturo Vidal. Leo Messi hartó and asked his rescission, but the club denied it to him. Afterwards they arrived the 'rajadas' public of the Argentinian star beside the most recent of Gerard Hammered.
