Former Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu has been chastised once more by Gerard Pique. The Spaniard has called him out on his lies, particularly those related to the Barcagate affair.
The Barcelona president reportedly engaged a public relations firm to maintain the club's image and was charged with spreading negative tales about the club's star players. Later, Bartomeu was one of numerous officials detained in connection with the incident.
Pique stated that he approached the previous president about the matter, but that he was misled on the training ground. According to Marca, the defender went on to allege that the same thing happened to Messi and informed Jordi Wild:
"He's a person who can't say no because of his insecurity or the need to make everyone happy. Not knowing what to do about the issues. We haven't seen him at the Cuidad Deportiva in a while. Why am I so irritated with Bartomeu? When he lied to me about Barçagate, I was furious." Some services were employed by the club to criticize the players. At the training ground, he lied to Leo and me, saying he didn't know anything about Barçagate. We told him that we understood he didn't know anything and hoped he would take the necessary steps." "Then I discovered that he was aware of the situation. Despite the fact that he lied to my face in such a critical issue, he at least displays his face.
What is the Barcelona affair known as Barcagate?
The word "Barcagate" was coined to allude to a probe against former Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu and three others. They were accused of surreptitiously paying a public relations agency, I3 Ventures, to manage the club's social media reputation by slandering the players.
After the inquiry began, Bartomeu, Oscar Grau, Jaume Masferrer, and Roman Gomez Ponti were all imprisoned.
A fan group alerted police after they allegedly paid the contractor six times the market cost for the task.
Joan Laporta took over as president of the club when Bartomeu resigned in October 2020.
