The president of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, condemned the actions of FC Barcelona for the way in which Lionel Messi was released and also expressed solidarity with the Argentine star.
”How ugly what they did to him, I cried with him when I saw him crying, I cried because he is a good, authentic boy and a great sporting glory in the world. What the board of the Fútbol Club Barcelona did to him has no name ”, said Maduro in the middle of the ceremony with the Venezuelan athletes who participated in Tokyo 2020.

In addition, Maduro stated that Barcelona gave him a kick Messi and that these actions have no name, since the Argentine is a noble person who only wanted to finish his career in the club that formed him as a footballer.
But the Venezuelan president continued to attack Barcelona and said: “If they are capable of doing that to Messi, who is the greatest glory of world football, then they are capable of doing it with any other footballer or person. They use it, they become billionaires, they campaign for years and then they kick it, what a sad thing. ”

Finally, he was happy about the signing of Messi with his new team and he wished him success in the new campaign. ”Now we are happy because we saw him arrive in Paris, it seems that he is going to sign with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). I am sure that the thorn will be removed and he will be champion of champions in the new PSG team. Give it up to Messi from here. From Venezuela, we want it ”.
