They included two vice-presidents, Enrique Tombas and Emili Rousaud, the latter the one Bartomeu had in mind to be his successor. Messi claimed on Friday that Bartomeu "did not keep his word" over an agreement to let him leave for free at the end of the season. After the 8-2 defeat by Bayern, Bartomeu was also compelled to bring forward next year's elections until March. But a vote of no confidence has been presented against him by the club's members, meaning he may not last that long. His victory over Messi may prove a hollow one.
