Messi Takes Another Swipe At Barca

Lionel Messi has taken another potshot at Barcelona over the manner in which Luis Suarez was shipped out of the club.

The Argentinian said Suarez deserved a better send-off having been one of the most important players in the club’s history.

Uruguayan Suarez has joined Atletico Madrid after being told he was no in new boss, Ronald Koeman’s plans.

It’s only a few weeks since Messi announced he would stay at Barcelona despite being adamant about wishing to depart. He felt club president Josep Maria Bartomeu had given him assurances he could leave if desired, but when it came to the crunch the president interpreted the legalities of Messi’s release somewhat differently.
