Tension.

It is the first thing that is palpable in the surroundings of the

Camp Nou

, where Barcelona receives Real Sociedad at 3pm at the start of the Spanish football league.

This is the debut of the Catalans without Lionel Messi within the squad, a fact that is far from healing.

The departure of the Rosario star left a

rarefied climate

in Barcelona.

The main darts point towards its president

Joan Laporta

who they blame for the departure of their idol from the club.

Flags and banners located on the

latticework that surrounds the Camp Nou

show the anger and helplessness of the Catalans.

"

Laporta Judas, you cheated on D10S

", is one of the flags hanging in front of the Catalan stadium.

But there is more: "

Messi in Paris and you in Ibiza

";

or "

Laporta lackey of Florentino

" in reference to Florentino Pérez, president of his arch rival Real Madrid.

Barcelona fans went to the stadium wearing the Messi shirt, the great idol who is no longer in the team.

Another of the rags that hang in the Camp Nou says "

El Barsa is not your business

."

The paths of Lionel Messi and Barcelona travel diametrically opposite paths.

While the Argentine star was present on Saturday at the Parc des Princes watching the victory of his new team PSG in Ligue 1 in France and cheered by a crowd, many Catalan fans who are hurt and do not hide their annoyance.

And the anger, for now, has only one recipient: the club's president,

Joan Laporta

Several flags and banners on the trellis of the Barcelona stadium, against its president.
