Barcelona FC has reportedly sacked one of its club directors after questioning the football club’s star, Lionel Messi’s performance in the absence of Iniesta and Neymar.

Barcelona FC was reported to have sacked the club director, Pere Gratacós, who was the head of Sports Institutional Relations with the Royal Spanish Football Federation for having a vision different from the club’s.

Gratacos, following Barcelona FC’s match at the Copa del Rey quarter-final draw said: “Leo is one of the most important people in the team, but it’s not just about him.”

He continued: “He would not be as good without [Andres] Iniesta, Neymar and company, but Messi is the best.”

In reaction to the statement, the club released a statement which reads: “FC Barcelona have dismissed Pere Gratacos as head of institutional sporting relations with the Royal Spanish Football Federation for having publicly expressed a personal opinion that does not match that of the club after the draw for the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey held today in Madrid.”
