How are you not realising that they deserve to be criticised?
I mean seriously the board hired a PR firm to create bot followed accounts to attack Messi's family on twitter and whip up anti-Messi sentiment in the fans, but him criticising the president is supposed to be unacceptable?
Bartomeu spends £375m on Griezman and Coutinho (who both only play in Messi's position, making them useless) when Neymar wanted to come back, because he didn't like the optics of it. But how dare Messi criticise it!
Pique, a bloke who screamed at Bartomeu "you did this' when they came off the pitch in the game that lost them the title, suddenly has too much respect to support Messi?
