Lionel Messi could decide to walk away from Barcelona during the summer after a clash with Eric Abidal, according to ESPN pundit Gab Marcotti. The insider claimed Messi could look to copy Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi hit the headlines on Tuesday after appearing to have a public spat with Barca's sporting director Abidal. But Messi retaliated on Instagram, as he questioned why the off-field staff didn't do more to help the team succeed. The incident has led fans to speculate over whether this could mark the end of Messi's 20-year association with the Blaugrana.
