Barcelona, May 9, 2025 – The Lionel Messi football legend could not contain its frustration after the disappointing performance of one of FC Barcelona players in the current season. In an explosive statement, the Argentine star directly pointed to a team member as the main person in charge of the club’s stumbling blocks, stating that his presence in the field was a carafal mistake of coach Hansi Flick.
“This player dramatically destroyed Barcelona’s season … he had warned about him many times before, and Flick must admit his big mistake when putting it in the field while leaving someone better on the bench … In the end, Barcelona paid the price,” Messi said with obvious outrage. Although the historical captain of the team did not mention a specific name, his words have unleashed a wave of speculations between fans and the media about who could be the target of his criticism.
The Barcelona season has been marked by ups and downs, with moments of brilliance overshadowed by unexpected defeats and inconsistent actions. Flick’s decision to trust certain players, despite the warnings of key figures such as Messi, has generated an intense debate about team management. According to sources close to the club, Messi had expressed internal concerns about alignment on multiple occasions, but their warnings were not taken into account.
This episode shows internal tensions in the Barcelona wardrobe, a team that struggles to recover its domain in the League and in European competitions. Messi’s criticism not only points to the individual performance of a player, but also to the tactical decisions of the coaching staff, which could have repercussions on the dynamics of the team in the next games.
Barcelona fans, who venerate Messi as an icon, have reacted with a mixture of support for their idol and concern for the future of the club. In social networks, the hashtags #Messitierazón and #flickescucha have become a trend, while the followers demand answers and changes in the team’s strategy.
For now, neither Hansi Flick nor the indicated player have responded publicly to Messi’s statements. However, this incident promises to continue being a hot issue in the world of football, while Barcelona seeks to straighten the course in a season that, according to Messi, has already been seriously compromised.
