While they underestimated Messi, the terrible karma that hits FC Barcelona

Barcelona begins to suffer the consequences of having underestimated Lionel Messi. The captain of the Argentine National Team wanted to return to the blaugrana after finishing his time at PSG and was willing to sign a low contract as long as he returned to what was his home for practically his entire career, but Joan Laporta gave clear signs that he did not want to sign him by not sending a proposal and Xavi continued along the same lines, deceiving everyone by saying that the decision depended on Messi.

Finally, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) got tired of this lack of seriousness to manage his return and decided to go to Inter Miami, a place where today he is very happy with his family. After that decision, Barça magically found resources and, without selling anyone, they announced the signings of Ilkay Gündogan, Íñigo Martínez and Vitor Roque.

However, that move did not come free and this Saturday they began to suffer karma for having treated Messi like that. The culés had to play their first preseason friendly against Juventus (they had played one against Vissel Kobe but before they were on vacation), but a virus affected a large part of the squad and the match had to be suspended.

Barcelona communicated the inconvenience through Twitter

“FC Barcelona informs that the match against Juventus FC, scheduled for today, July 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Levi's Stadium corresponding to the Soccer Champions Tour, has been suspended. An important part of the Barca squad is affected by viral gastroenteritis," the club reported through its official account.
