LaLiga: It has been established that Messi is not a dwarf incapable of reading, as claimed by former Barcelona president Ponti
It has come to light that Lionel Messi was treated to obscene taunts at the Nou Camp by Roman Gomez Ponti, the former director of legal services at Barcelona.
The superstar, who is now playing for PSG, reportedly received criticism after insisting that his and Luis Suarez’s weekly wages not be affected by the club’s financial woes.
A number of WhatsApp texts between the previous Barcelona board were obtained by Sport, and they showed a strong dislike for the Argentina football king.
Along with Jordi Moix, Oriol Tomas, and David Bellver, former CEO Oscar Grau and executive Josep Maria Bartomeu participated in the discussions. The director of strategy and innovation, Javier Sobrino, and the former CFO, Pancho Schroder, also took part in the talks.
The board was furious as information about Messi’s deal with El Mundo leaked, which caused a commotion among them.
During the group discussion, board members shared their thoughts, and Pont then said a lot of bad things about the 35-year-old celebrity.
Messi spent the majority of his playing career at Barcelona, where he amassed numerous championships and individual honors before departing the team in 2020 amid controversy.
During their conversation, Ponti claimed that Messi was illiterate, saying, “He doesn’t even know how to read.”
Most importantly, the club and those of us who work there have been subjected to a barrage of blackmail and contempt from this hormonal dwarf who owes Barcelona his life.
The fabled WhatsApp message reads, “Presi, cut the salaries of the others, but don’t touch me and Luis,” when things go bad (pandemic). The worst thing that can happen to him is for the people to ignore him as he departs; therefore, I pray that happens.
