Lionel Messi ignores criticism and exposed a young post-classic FC Barcelona player against Real Madrid
FC Barcelona lost the classic against Real Madrid and Lionel Messi and his friends decided to send a young player to face the press.
Real Madrid can be calm for the rest of the week and Zinedine Zidane continue as coach but Lionel Messi, Koeman and all of FC Barcelona do not stop receiving criticism. The problem is that young players like Ansu Fati or Dest are the ones in charge of a team that is already in retirement.
Once the game was over, Lionel Messi and his friends decided not to show their faces and send the young USMNT player Sergiño Dest. In order not to have to face criticism from the media, none of the experienced ones decided to go talk post Classic. Poor Dest had to show his face when all the players were in the locker room.
Real Madrid had just lost in the Champions League and in the Liga BBVA, but as their coach Zidane said, the classics are separate games. In this case, Real Madrid was more effective than FC Barcelona and was left with three very important points for the road to the Liga BBVA championship.
Messi, Pique, Busquets should have gone to show their post-defeat face against Real Madrid but instead they decided to send Dest. It was a very cowardly attitude from one of the best players in the world. Doubts also grow if this defeat is not a clear warning message against Bartomeu by the exponents of FC Barcelona
