Differences and contradictions
The differences and contradictions between Messi and Barcelona have a long history. These problems mainly involve the following aspects:
Financial problems
Barcelona is a club with poor financial situation, and their financial situation has been very bad. Barcelona's financial crisis began at 20 17, when the club was forced to pay a fine of 22 million euros because they signed players below 18. This incident triggered a huge financial problem, and Barcelona's debts continued to increase, eventually leading to financial bankruptcy.
The difference between Messi and Barcelona is mainly related to his salary. Messi is the highest paid player in Barcelona, and his salary occupies a huge financial budget of the club. Messi's salary reached 60 million euros in 20 17, and this figure continued to rise in 20 19, reaching 92 million euros. This figure is unbearable for Barcelona because they can't pay such a high salary.
management problem

Messi believes that the management of Barcelona is incapable of managing the club, and they cannot provide the necessary support and help for the team. Messi believes that the management of Barcelona did not provide enough funds and support for the team, which led to the decline of the team's performance.
Team performance

Messi believes that Barcelona's team needs more support and investment to achieve better results in Europe.
