Lionel Messi had dropped a bombshell when he chose to leave FC Barcelona at the end of the 2019/20 season. However, after some hectic meetings with the board and going through plenty of technical nuances, Messi chose to stay albeit ‘relunctantly’ at FC Barcelona for one more year. In an interview, Messi outlined the drama and the hurt that unfolded when he announced his decision to leave FC Barcelona. The family was hurt and the children said that they did not want to leave Barcelona. At the same time, Messi outlined that he was hurt by allegations that he was going to take his childhood club to court. Messi stated that the thought did not even cross his mind. However, Messi, considered one of the greatest football players ever, did not hold back when he said the FC Barcelona leadership under the presidency of Josep Bartomeu has been a total disaster.
