BARCELONA, 9 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, wanted to downplay this Thursday “all importance” to the words of Matías, Leo Messi’s brother, recalling that he has already “apologised” and that “they do not affect the relationship at all” with the current striker for French Paris Saint-Germain.
In a conversation on ‘Twitch’ this Wednesday, Matías Messi stated that the Catalan team “began to know” through his brother because before his arrival “nobody knew him” and “Real Madrid was better known”, and that if they returned to the club they were going to do “a good ‘cleaning'”, even throwing out Laporta himself.
“I take away all importance, he has apologized and what he has said is understandable. It does not affect the relationship between Barça and Leo at all. My feeling is one of maximum understanding, I would not give it any more thought and less when he has apologized, which It is appreciated. He is Leo’s brother and it was very sad how it all ended”, Laporta settled at a press conference.
In addition, the leader avoided talking about a possible return of ’10’. “It is obvious that he belongs to Barça and we are very proud to have had a player of his level, the best in the world and surely the best in history, but don’t make me talk about him. He is a PSG player and I don’t want to comment on anything about other players out of respect for the player and PSG,” he said.
