The surprising decision by Ronald Koeman that burst Messi in anger and could force him to leave Barcelona

Since Ronald Koeman's arrival to Barcelona, Lionel Messi has been on the news for bad reasons a few more times than for good ones. It seems the Argentinian idol has not got on well with the Dutch coach and former defender of the club. Once again, he created controversy in the press conference.

It is absolutely known that Barcelona’s season is not going exactly well. And even worse, with the rumors of Messi’s departure on a free transfer, the fans are worried as they have never been in many, many years.

It all started when Barcelona got under a severely negative streak of missed penalties. Now, there is an upcoming match against Elche for the Spanish La Liga. The team has failed seven of the last 12 shots. And Koeman is furious.

“If Messi is not there, we must have another one who shoots and scores. We will decide what to do tomorrow in our pre-match meeting. Now we will pick two players to shoot, but our captain will have the last word”, said the coach in the last press conference.
