Lionel Messi expressed his frustration at always being labelled the problem at Barcelona after being quizzed on scathing comments made by Antoine Griezmann’s former agent Eric Olhats.

Messi’s issue with the club over the summer was played out publicly as he expressed his intention to leave, with Manchester City holding talks over a deal for one of football’s greatest ever players.

He wanted to use a clause in his contract to leave on a free transfer but Barcelona insisted it was no longer active.

He ended up staying for the 2020/21 season but his relationship with the club seemingly hasn’t improved with links of a possible move to Man City in January or next summer continuing.
