Josep Maria Bartomeu will always remember that August 25, 2020, when he received a checkmate from Leo Messi in the club's offices in the form of a burofax in which he requested to leave Barça. Bartomeu is left in an untenable situation. Having allowed the Messi pump to be activated will make Neymar's farewell to PSG almost an anecdote , in which he demonstrated a great ignorance of what was happening in the locker room.
The Board of Directors announced elections for the presidency from March 15 (to the next party in the house), but the situation may now become untenable. The I3 Ventures scandal, the tense relationship with the dressing room, 2-8 in Lisbon but, above all, that the best player in the club's history announces by burofax the desire to leave, may mean the goodbye of Bartomeu, a character that it was already unpopular in some sectors and that now it could increase the social rejection of the subscriber.
The candidates for the Barça elections took to social networks to ask for the resignation of Bartomeu. "Bartomeu, go now! Resignation and elections as soon as possible," Víctor Font, a pre-candidate for the Barça presidency , wrote on his twitter account and who would be most convenient to advance the elections. Laporta had anticipated the play: "Poor Barça in the hands of these incompetent". If everything follows a logical course, Bartomeu has the hours counted at Barça.
