La liga statmentement means Barca are right legally, which means the game is over.
It's an interpretation.

And also it does not stop barcelona, Messi and City agreeing a deal between them. Which is what most thought would happen anyway.
 
It is telling that no one has disputed the fact that Messi has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave at the end of each season.

The line of reasoning seems to be that the clause expired on a certain date, that didn’t take into account a pandemic extending the season.

Regardless, of the legality of this, it seems wrong to use a technicality to prevent Messi from utilising a clause he was promised. That does appear to be a shabby way to treat a club legend.

IMO, this is all about the Barca board saving face, especially after the surrender of La Liga to Madrid and the humiliation against Bayern.

They cannot be seen to allow their prize asset to leave for nothing, but at the same time, the longer they keep their prize asset, the more they alienate him and possibly the fans.

I think they’ll end up accepting a bid of £50 million + Garcia and Angelino. Both players will be valued at about £35 million each to allow Barca to claim they recouped £100+ million for him.

Unless Messi backs down, I don’t see any way Barca can keep him and if they turned down a decent bid for him, that would give Messi even more support.

Would they want to go ? The fukin mess barca are in
