According to the Sun UK, Messi was of the opinion that Barcelona should have been more supportive of him during the tax evasion hearings in Spain. Chelsea has also been monitoring Messi’s tax evasion case and were well aware that Barcelona was reluctant to renew their contract with the Argentinian football star. It was after the sentencing that Barca issued a statement of their support but Messi was not feeling their sympathy.
