Messi hit the headlines on Tuesday after appearing to have a public spat with Barca’s sporting director Abidal.
The ex-Barcelona player gave an interview regarding the sacking of former manager Ernesto Valverde, in which he claimed the playing staff let down their old boss
But Messi retaliated on Instagram, as he questioned why the off-field staff didn’t do more to help the team succeed. The incident has led fans to speculate over whether this could mark the end of Messi’s 20-year association with the Blaugrana.
Messi is under contract until the end of next season, but his future beyond that is unknown. The 32-year-old has stated that he doesn’t want to sign a lifetime contract, and has previously indicated that he wants to retire at his childhood club – Newell’s Old Boys.
He played for the Argentine side before joining Barcelona, and it is believed that he will return there before he retires.
Bye Felicia!

Messi seems comfortable with the familiar, as seen in playing for Barca for 2 decades and wanting to retire at his childhood club.
He isn't going anywhere.
