The continuity of Leo Messi

The subject that more concerns to the barcelonismo is the renewal of captain and player more important of the FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi, the one who argues if it will continue or no in the Barcelona picture further of the end of this season, when it wins his agreement. It fits to remember that, after the disaster in the Champions League with the 2-8 in front of the Bayern Munich, 'The Flea' sent a burofax to the directive, directed in this moment by Josep María Bartomeu, asking abandon the club of his life. Finally, with controversy, finished remaining in the Barça but without desvelar if it will renew or no.
