The leaders of FC Barcelona must have whistling ears.
As in the great days when they played together with the Blaugrana, Lionel Messi and Neymar joined forces on Instagram this Friday to launch an almost simultaneous tackle at Barça.
The six-fold Argentinian Golden Ball and the Brazilian star of PSG were moved by the fate of Luis Suarez, their former partner with whom they formed for three years (2014-2017) the best attack in the world, nicknamed "MSN".
Pushed towards the exit by Barcelona, the Uruguayan has just signed for two years with Atlético de Madrid.
The conditions under which this departure took place were not to the taste of Messi, who lit the first fuse in the morning.
In a moving message to his friend Suarez and posted on his Instagram account, the Argentinean has spared no effort in his own leadership.
"It will be weird to see you in another jersey and even more to face you," he wrote.
You deserved them to say goodbye to you for what you are: one of the most important players in club history, who has achieved important things with the squad and individually.
And not that they throw you like they did.
But the truth is that at this level, nothing surprises me anymore.

Ya me venía haciendo la idea pero hoy entered al vestuario y me cayó la ficha de verdad.
Que difícil va ser no seguir compartiendo el día a día con vos, tanto en las canchas como afuera.
Los vamos a extrañar muchísimo.
Fueron muchos años, muchos mates, comidas, cenas ... Muchas cosas que nunca se van a olvidar, todos los días juntos.
Va a ser raro verte con otra camiseta y mucho más enfrentarte.
Te merecías que te despidan como lo que sos: uno de los jugadores más important de la historia del club, consiguiendo cosas significant tanto en lo grupal como individualmente.
Y no que te echen como lo hicieron.
Pero la verdad que a esta altura ya no me sorprende nada.
Te deseo todo lo mejor en este nuevo desafío.
Te quiero mucho, los quiero mucho.
Hasta pronto, amigo.

Very close to Suarez and his family, Messi admits that he will have a hard time getting over their absence, he who reluctantly decided to stay another year at Barça after the melodrama of the announcement of his departure at the beginning of the month of September.
His friends from PSG, Neymar and Di Maria, had even tried to attract him.
“I had started to get used to the idea, but today, I entered the locker room and the truth fell, he still indicated in his message.
That it will be difficult not to continue to share with you on a daily basis, on and off the pitch.
You will be sorely missed.
It's been a lot of years, a lot of mate, meals, parties ... A lot of things that we will never forget, all these days together.
I wish you the best for this new challenge.
I love you very much, I love you very much.
See you soon my friend.

"It's amazing how they do things"
The case could have ended there if Neymar had not been involved in it as well.
The Brazilian endorsed his former partner's inflammatory post on Instagram.
Under it, the Parisian n ° 10 also expressed his disgust.
"It's amazing how they do things," he wrote in turn accompanied by a distressed emoji.
Three years after leaving Barcelona for PSG, Neymar has maintained a strong bond with his former partners, to whom he visits regularly.
In the summer of 2019, the Barcelona locker room even campaigned for his return to Catalonia.
In vain.
