Read Time:49 Second
A BARCELONA director has been kicked out of the club after he launched a surprise attack on Lionel Messi.
Catalan official Pere Gratacos outrageously claimed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would not be as good without his teammates.
His comment was made whilst Messi continues play hard ball over a new contract with the La Liga giants.
Speaking after the Copa del Rey quarter-finals draw, Barca bigwig Gratacos said: “Without [Andres] Iniesta, Neymar, [Gerard] Pique and the rest, Messi would not be as good a player.”
The is not the first time the director has devalued Messi’s talent within Luis Enrique’s side.
In 2010, when asked how good the Argentine could become, he replied: “In Africa, there are plenty of players with his ability.”
The Catalan hierarchy have been very vocal as the club continue to negotiate with Messi and CEO, Oscar Grau, said the club will not break the bank to keep hold of their main man.
