For the FC Barcelona "was not a surprise" the exit of Leo Messi

On 5 August 2021 the FC Barcelona confirmed that Leo Messi had left to be part of the Barcelona team "because of economic and structural obstacles", as it confirmed the club in his moment. It was a vase of cold water for all the barcelonismo and an exit that left to the Barça very touched futbolísticamente. Now, from the Camp Nou have gone back to pronounce in this regard.

The director of football of the Barça, Mateu Alemany, has spoken on his exit in a talk with students of London School of Economics Sports Busines. It has explained that the exit of Leo Messi of the Camp Nou was the consequence of not wanting to be part of the agreement between LaLiga and the bottom investor CVC. The club did not want to mortgage for life and did not remain more 'remedy' that leave leave to Messi.

The Barcelona director stood out, in concrete, that "lamentably was not a surprise. It was the reality of the moment. The only form that it remained was that the Barça joined to something to what we did not want to join us. We decide that the club was above any another person", something that has prejudiced, in a lot of senses, to the Catalan entity.

It is not a secret for anybody that the first year 'post-Messi' has been difficult and that, grieve now with the reinforcements and the work of Xavi, is that they are seeing the results and a mejoría, but 'cost' the early elimination in Champions League and the shipwreck in LaLiga. And it is that the Barça lost a lot without 'The Flea' to level futbolístico, but was not the only.

Mateu Alemany Confirmed in his statements that the club has lost more than in the sportive: "we Have lost a lot commercially", referring surely on sale of T-shirts (the majority that bought were of Messi) or the fault of a 'magnet' to achieve agreements of millionaire sponsorships (although it has reached the one of Spotify).

New start for the Barça

The Barcelona did not have more remedy that happen the page and look to the future, because although it is true that Leo Messi is the maximum legend of the club, the 'party' continue and the Barça needs to go on. It is thus that from the dispatches of the Camp Nou has done a monumental effort to reinforce to the team in this wintry market.

The main aim of the culés is to classify to the next Champions League. Alemany Has recognised that "with this staff do not pose me not to classify me for the Champions League of the next season. It would be a disaster", stood out.
