Argentine star Lionel Messi returned to Barcelona on Monday, where he trained alone, after deciding to stay with the Catalan club until the end of his contract in 2021 instead of pursuing his desire to leave this summer.
After days of disputes between the 33-year-old Argentine and the club, which has been defending the colors of his first team since 2004, the best player in the world was seen driving his car to the Joan Gamper sports center in Sant Joan Desby at around four o’clock. the evening local time (1400 GMT). ).
After that, Messi alone carried out exercises in line with the league’s protocol in the face of the “Covid-19” virus pandemic, according to “Euronews”.
“Leo Messi’s preparations for the 2020-2021 season have just started,” Barcelona said in a statement, adding: “Barcelona’s number 10 player trained alone, similar to (Brazilian Felipe) Coutinho (who is returning from his loan Bayern Munich) in line with “La Liga” protocol. The other players on the team trained with each other. “
Messi carried out his first exercises under the supervision of the new coach of the Catalan Dutch team, Ronald Koeman, and the first since it was revealed on Friday that he had been forced to remain in Barcelona.
On Friday, Messi decided to stay because he could not go to the pitch, but without mitigating the intensity of his attack on the club’s president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, accusing him of breaking his word to allow him to leave the club for free at the end of last season.
Messi’s return to the team will probably not be easy, especially in light of the tendency to abandon his Uruguayan friend Luis Suárez and Chilean Arturo Vidal, who will likely move to Italy to defend the colors of Juventus and Inter Milan. , respectively.
