Club captain Messi takes swipe at Barcelona’s board after departure of fellow forward Suarez for Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has taken another swipe at the club’s board when he criticised the way it treated fellow forward Luis Suarez who left the Catalan club for Atletico Madrid on Thursday.

Barcelona’s new coach Ronald Koeman told Suarez he was surplus to requirements when he took over last month.

“Today I went into the dressing room and the awful truth hit me,” Messi posted on Instagram.

“You deserved to be sent off as what you are: one of the most important players in the history of the club. And not to be fired in the way they did it.

“You are one of the most important players in the club’s history, achieving important things both as a group and individually.

“You didn’t deserve to be kicked out the way you were. But the truth is, that at this point, nothing surprises me.”

Messi has had a long-running feud with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu which intensified after Barcelona were humiliated 8-2 by German club Bayern Munich in a Champions League quarter-final in August.

Messi tried to force his exit from Barcelona but finally accepted he would have to see out the final year of his contract.

Two of his closest friends on the team, Suarez and the Chilean Arturo Vidal, have left.

Suarez, who hit 198 goals for Barca, becoming the third-highest goalscorer in the history of the club, cried as he bid an impromptu farewell to the club on Thursday.

“I’m going to keep playing, with fresh motivation, with the objective to show I can continue competing,” Suarez said.=

“Everyone knows the relationship we have, Leo and me. I’ve already played against him in the Uruguay-Argentina matches, playing against each other is not going to change the feelings we have for each other.”

Messi and Suarez were neighbours in the beachside suburb of Castelldefels and would arrive at training together.

“How difficult it is going to be not to continue to share the days with you, both on the pitch and off it,” wrote Messi in a post accompanied by seven pictures of the two men together, sometimes with their families.

“We are going to miss you very much. It’s been many years, many cups of mate, lunches, dinners … Many things that I will never forget.”

Barcelona kick off their 2020-2021 campaign with a home game against Villarreal on Sunday.
