Messi, out of the image of the Barça video of the season

Barcelona presented the members of its first squad for the 2020-2021 season in a careful and striking video on its social network Twitter. It would be one more gesture of affiliation for his followers if it were not for a small detail that attracted the attention of the most astute. In the cover image of the video, the club did not place Leo Messi, the club's most important player. A remarkable absence that is open to multiple interpretations.

In the image that illustrates and serves as a claim to the video of the season, they appear in this order: Ansu Fati, Griezmann, Piqué, Coutinho and Ter Stegen. Messi is out as can be seen in the image that illustrates this news. It should be remembered that the Argentine is one of the four captains of the squad led by Ronald Koeman, along with Piqué (who does pose in the image), Sergi Busquets and Sergi Roberto.

Another detail to highlight that leaves the video, also affects Messi. During the presentation, the footballers they play in a fun way with the change of Barcelona kit. Or they even pose with identifying objects (for example, Sergiño Dest appears with the North American flag). All except Messi, who barely appears on the screen for a few seconds and does so without any interaction on the video.
