If there is something that FC Barcelona is not needing right now, is problems. Everything is in a chaotic state regarding the loss in Spanish Supercup final, the economic crisis, the underwhelming season in La Liga and UEFA Champions League and the doubts on Lionel Messi's future. 

But there might be tension again, because Gerard Pique took someone who had problems with Messi to make more money in his investments. The defender is the owner of FC Andorra, in the third tier of Spanish soccer, and made an appointment that might feel like some kind of betrayal.

This is because Pique hired Eder Sarabia as the new manager of that team. Sarabia was Quique Setien's assistant manager, and he had a fueled discussion with the GOAT, who even ended up insulting him in a match versus Celta. The relationship of the squad with that staff was terrible and broke definitely with the 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich.

This will be the first experience ever as a manager for Sarabia. He stopped playing soccer at 24 due to injuries, and studied to be a coach. Then he went to youth teams to manage, and in 2015 he joined Quique Setien in Las Palmas, Betis and FC Barcelona, If he does well in FC Andorra, it would be mean a successful investment for Pique.
