Laporta? Why? Because he didn&#8217;t want to pay 500 million? It&#8217;s not like the sporting director came and told him he wasn&#8217;t wanted. Let&#8217;s not sanctify him. One is that Laporta made 20 mistakes, and the other is that Messi is the holy trinity,&#8221; the presenter insisted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Messi&#8217;s emotional video breaks Barcelona&#8217;s hearts<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jose Luis Sanchez. &#8220;The serious thing is that Barcelona&#8217;s head of security opened the doors of the Camp Nou to Messi without the president&#8217;s knowledge.

Let&#8217;s keep in mind what Laporta would have done with that photo, he would have accompanied the photo of Messi, even if it was in secret. Laporta is desperately looking for that photo. It is a message that &#8216;there is no need to enter the house&#8217;, a demonstration that he can do it whenever he wants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Antonio Sanz. &#8220;Messi was kicked out by Laporta and was not given the option to stay.
