Former Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu still comments on the club he once led. This time, Bartomeu again attacked Joan Laporta.
He said Barcelona had made a big mistake by releasing Lionel Messi to PSG. Although as is known, this crisis has occurred before when he led Barca.
"They took Lionel Messi off and it was like a bad decision for me," he was quoted as saying by Marca.
"Playing without Messi shows a lot of things have to change. As president, I didn't want Messi to leave and I did everything to prevent that from happening."
Bartomeu wants to escape the spotlight directed at him. As is known, the decision to release Messi was also caused by financial problems while still led by him.
Bartomeu is so confident his management did nothing wrong while leading Barcelona. He also claimed not to be afraid.
"I'm not afraid. None of my directors have stolen. You can't hide that, after months it can be known now."
"There is nothing strange when the audit comes out, also during the test of propriety. They can do anything."
Bartomeu was the president who appointed Ronald Koeman as coach. He believes Koeman is the right man.
"He's a ready coach. You have to be patient to let him help the team without the best players in the world," he said.
