FC Barcelona reacted to Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami relocation with the saltiest declaration

From the beginning, it was constantly clear that Lionel Messi desired to return to Barcelona. He neverever desired to leave. But FC Barcelona’s own monetary mismanagement required the soccer legend’s ultimate relocation to Paris Saint-Germain and avoided a return in 2023.

Barcelona selected to neglect that context in its authorities response to the news that Messi would be signingupwith Inter Miami in MLS this summertime. Instead of honoring perhaps the biggest gamer in the videogame’s history — and definitely the finest gamer in FCB’s storied history — club president Joan Laporta relatively took a shot at Messi’s choice.

There’s something about Miami and bringing out the saltiest of group declarations.

The 2nd paragraph of the press release checkout:

President Laporta comprehended and appreciated Messi’s choice to desire to contend in a league with less needs, more away from the spotlight and the pressure he hasactually been subject to in current years.

There’s absolutelynothing rather like a group basically tossing a tempertantrum about missingouton out on a gamer while likewise slamming stated gamer’s competitiveness. While noone is going to argue that MLS is on the level of a top-5 European league, there’s no factor for Barcelona to take a swipe at MLS (and Messi) when the club neverever had a practical possibility of bringing him back due to its own dysfunction.

You can’t blame fans for ripping Barcelona about the egalitarian declaration.
