Messi's Brother: Barcelona's Fame Due to Messi, Real Madrid Known Before Him

Kabir903

"Is it Barcelona that made Messi, or Messi who made Barcelona? It's worth debating. Since Messi's departure from Barcelona, their subsequent developments haven't shone as brightly as when they were together. The lingering disputes from Messi's departure still prevent his return to Camp Nou. Recently, Messi's brother candidly claimed that Messi is more famous than Barcelona, suggesting Messi made Barcelona what it is today. This bold statement has stirred controversy.

Messi's brother, Matias, has a history of making remarkable statements. During a recent live broadcast, he made several remarks, such as Messi not returning to Barcelona and criticizing the current president of the club, Laporta. However, his most astonishing statement came at the end: 'Barcelona became famous because of Messi; before Messi, Barcelona didn't have as much glory. It was the era of Real Madrid, and Messi filled Barcelona's museum.'

Naturally, these comments sparked controversy, with Barcelona fans expressing anger on social media, demanding an apology from Matias. Barcelona itself was surprised by the remarks but didn't take any official action in response. Messi's team, on the other hand, clarified that Matias's comments were his personal views and didn't represent Messi or his team's stance.

Under mounting public pressure, Matias eventually issued an apology during his latest live broadcast, stating that it was all in jest while joking with his son and friends. It's a reminder that even among family members, some things are best left unsaid to avoid getting entangled in complex situations. However, Matias's comments shed light on Messi's strained relationship with Barcelona, particularly with President Laporta. Otherwise, why would Matias instinctively belittle Barcelona during his live broadcast?

What do you think: Did Barcelona make Messi, or did Messi make Barcelona? Feel free to share your opinion in the replies!"

Messi's brother appears to be even more outspoken than his younger sibling. It does give off a somewhat arrogant vibe!

Well, reading this, my first thought is, is Messi's brother here to cash in on Messi's fame by making these remarks? Or does Messi privately complain to his brother about Barcelona, which is why his brother spoke out? Regardless, once his brother made these comments, even though he apologized, it probably alienated some fans, and it's clear there's some tension between Messi and Barcelona.

His brother is just trying to ride on Messi's popularity.

Wherever Messi goes, he shines. Here's hoping we'll see Messi again in the next World Cup.

This statement doesn't hold up; I knew about Barcelona even before Messi. It should be said that Messi made more people aware of Barcelona, right?

This statement will likely trigger a backlash from Barcelona's fans again.
