Sid Lowe joins ESPN FC’s Dan Thomas to react to Lionel Messi’s announcement that Barcelona players will not only take a 70 percent pay cut during the coronavirus crisis, but that the players will make sure club employees still receive their full wages. Lowe breaks down how this is another moment in which Messi has gotten the better of club president Josep Maria Bartomeu and the Barcelona board and what it could mean for Bartomeu with one year left in his term. The guys also address Messi’s future at the club and how it could be affected by his relationship with the board.

Thats a specimen of leadership
He's become more than just the man of the spotlight on the pitch but then again even off the pitch and for all the right reasons for me
Messi should leave. Its about time bro. Go somewhere he can slot in seamlessly. Inter are the only team i see as a sensible option although it will be bad news for eriksen
I’m surprised pique didn’t talk yet.
That's always happening when a color man is in this game. You know what I mean. We European people are suffering a huge r…..m by these foreign "people " specially from Africa and Asia.
The Barcelona board is a joke I’ve been a fan since I was a kid and it pains me to see how they’ve become a shadow of their former self
Siempre me pregunte que pasaria si messi o un deportista de elite donara la mayoria de su dinero a los desfavorecidos osea antes de que pasara esto ,,nuc digamos haber escuchado messi dono su salario a africa hehe creo que la podria sacar de la pobreza ..osea siendo utopico el problema real es cada centavo realmente a donde va a parar es raro muy raro segun una pelotuda cientifica dijo que si tuviera el salario de messi se harian avanzes cientificos mucho mas rapido años decadas..mm nuc adonde se va el puto dinero es claro que messi u otro deportista de elite puede sobrevivir con el 20% pero vuelvo y digo el problema es ver que el dinero no se lo roben en el camino cosa jodida porque los malos son muy inteligentes y escurridisos..en fin buena por messi me imagino que el resto de los deportistas de elite le estan siguiendo ..vuelvo y sigo ese dinero como saber que si sirvio para la causa .
Messi runs the club at this point smh shouldn’t Valverde be saying this?
Barca board need to fix up before messi retirement otherwise its all downhill.
Simple! Messi is the ?
One thing is sure,if neymar doesn't come back,Messi will leave
Very classy statement…whoever wrote it
Respect Respect and Respect.
How is ESPN FC still operating ?
A man and a half.
I never believed a player is above a club…till Ronaldo left Mardrid…hopefully Messi never leaves…
Head of Barcelona PR Department: Leo Messi
Will messi leave
Messi means messi always
Bartomeu and co need get sacked ASAP.
I never thought I'd say that but I really wouldn't be surprised if Messi didn't finish his career in Barcelona… It's like the club has completely turned their back to the principles that made them into a club that the whole world was excited to watch. Shame.
Messi brain washed bunch of sheep
The day Messi retires Barcelona will become a second league team
