Leo Messi (La Liga)
What a day passed for Leo Messi yesterday (Sunday). The Barcelona star woke up the morning he revealed that his entire contract had been leaked to El Mundo, the crazy sum of 555,237,619 million euros worth his deal with the Catalans since 2017 was the talk of the day and with all that he stepped onto the pitch for the game against Athletic Bilbao. Barça in the Spanish Super Cup, and as if nothing had happened. Flea starred with a goal with a wonderful free kick, Barcelona won 1: 2 and here it is in second place in the league table, 10 points away from the top, and although Atletico Madrid still looks far away but Ronald Koeman’s team continues to take points in the league at a good pace.
The next morning, El Mundo did not stop and continued to publish details of Messi’s contract. This time the title was dedicated to the special loyalty clause in the flea’s contract that if he finishes the whole year as a Barcelona player, he will receive in July a sum of 39 million euros. However, the Catalan media claimed during the night when it became known that this was the new publication in “El Mundo” that Messi was apparently giving up the amount in question as part of the cut in his seasonal salary following the Corona crisis. By the way, if he does not give up, the Barcelona loyalty bonus will have to be paid to the player even if he decides to leave it at the end of the contract.
The Catalan media celebrated the game with Messi and in “Sports” it was written on the cover: “Messi has no price.” His 650th goal in the Barça uniform in all settings was somehow left a bit on the sidelines as the media kept reporting that the player would sue the newspaper for publishing the contract and even if those who could have leaked it. The one who stung the issue is the presidential candidate, Victor Font, who tweeted a picture of Messi against the background of a billboard that reads “priceless”, or in other words – without price. The second candidate, Joan Laporta, announced that during the morning he would explain in an interview his plan to reverse Barça’s financial situation while leaving the greatest player in history, he said.
At the same time, a nightly discussion was held on TV3 regarding the issue and journalist Jordi Grau hinted that the actor knew who the leak was and even seemed to mean what he said to former president, Joseph Maria Bartomeu. The latter immediately responded to him: “I listen to the rumors because I leaked Messi’s contract, it’s a lie. It is illegal in any way to leak contracts but to talk and blame is easy. It’s going to end in court. What is certain is that Messi is entitled to all the euros he earned and if it were not for the Corona Barcelona, he would have met his salary without a problem. Last night it was reported that as far as Messi is concerned there are five immediate suspects who belong to Bartomeu’s management and he was also mentioned as one of them as only they had full access to all the details of the player’s contract and they were the ones who could leak the contract.
Another man outraged by the leak of Messi’s contract is none other than the La Liga president, Javier Tabas, Who chose to tweet his official response to things in English: “Barcelona’s delicate economic situation is not the fault of Leo Messi. Like other big clubs, Corona’s impact has been devastating. Without the plague, the revenue generated by the best footballer in history outweighs the cost. There are media outlets that treat this issue unfairly. “
The delicate financial situation of @FCBarcelona (similar in other big clubs) is not Messi’s fault but rather the devastating effects of COVID. Without a pandemic, the revenue generated by the best player in history offset that cost. Some media are not treating this issue fairly. pic.twitter.com/3qVgPcnyFL

These things were joined by the coach Coman Who did not hide his sullen mind: “This is a deliberate leak with the aim of damaging the player and the club. I do not know how anyone can claim that Leo Messi destroyed the club. Everything he did for Barcelona should be highlighted. He is the one who made Barça big and if the leaks came from the club It’s very bad and if so, whoever from the club behind this leak should not be here in the future. “
