“Hormoned dwarf, sewer rat” and other insults against Messi and Piqué from the Camp Nou box

A new bomb explodes in the Camp Nou. According to ‘El Periódico de Catalunya’a An investigation by the Mossos d’Esquadra suggests that the leak to the press of the contracts of Leo Messi and Gerard Piqué started from the management team of the previous board chaired by Bartomeu. As if that were not enough, the investigation also reveals the serious insults that were uttered by important figures of the blaugrana executivelike that of the head of legal services, Román Gómez Ponti, towards both emblems of the club.

According to the documentation held by the Catalan regional police, in March 2020 the then head of the club’s legal department raised in an email the possibility of filtering the contracts of the Barcelona stars. “It wouldn’t be a bad idea either to publish the million-dollar contracts of the first team so that people can publicly repudiate them,” Gómez Ponti writes to Bartomeu.

In January of the following year, ‘El Mundo’ published Messi’s contract, which could imply a crime of revealing secrets.

When the contracts came to light, the exchange of messages between managers and senior executives of the club, with the director Òscar Grau included in the conversation, is a mixture of finding guilty and insulting the players.

The only one who remains calm and who unequivocally censures the situation is President Josep Maria Bartomeu, who affirms “Óscar (to Óscar Grau), this leak can only come out of the club. I don’t think it was a leak from him to cause him to leave. Whoever leaked it hurts the club”. And adds that the figures that have been published on Messi’s contract “in times without a pandemic were totally acceptable”.

But the most striking thing is the tone used by the head of legal services, Román Gómez Ponti to refer to Messi. “Barto, really, you can’t be such a good person with this sewer rat. The club has given him everything and he has dedicated himself to marking a dictatorship of signings, transfers and renewals, ‘patros’ (sponsorships) just for him etc (…) And above all the accumulation of blackmail and rudeness that the club and those who We work on it, we have suffered from this dwarf who owes LIFE to Barça… ah. But when they come badly (pandemic) you receive their mythical wa (whastapp) “presi lower the salary of others, but don’t touch me and Luis.” I hope he leaves before the indifference of the people ”.

To this tirade, Òscar Grau responded with a laconic “yes” while Bartomeu insisted that “I agree on many things, but first Barça and this type of article damages the image of the club”.

To complete the salad of nonsense, Ponti adds that “Pinto, the renewal of Suárez and that of Jordi Alba should be added to the figures of his contract. Or the renewal commission for Fati (Rodrigo Messi, agent? But if he doesn’t even know how to read and on top of that, he has a drug dealer as a partner) ”.

To all this, the manager Oriol Tomàs points out that the leak could come from Laporta’s environment.
