Messi vs Ter Stegen: FC Barcelona debuts in the Champions League with a new problem in the dressing room

Barcelona faces the debuting team Ferencvaros for the first date of the Champions League in a complicated climate as the squad is once again divided. When Koeman believed that the problems at FC Barcelona had ended, now a new Burofax once again divided the squad. Luckily for FC Barcelona the Champions League begins against the weakest rival in the group.

The problems for Barcelona now arose as a result of the request of the leadership to lower the salaries of the players by 30%. 20 out of 24 players opposed this measure and sent a Burofax to demonstrate against the club. Players believe that the pandemic is no excuse to lower their salary.

On one side of the group of players were Messi and Pique and on the other only Ter Stegen, De Jong, Dest and Lenglet. This problem divided the squad in two and the groups were led by Messi and Ter Stegen although it is believed that the German goalkeeper would be alone in this fight. Dest and De Jong were forced not to sign the Burofax since they arrived at FC Barcelona in the last transfer period.

Ter Stegen faced the decision of Messi and the rest of the squad as he needs to be on the side of FC Barcelona to negotiate his new contract renewal. FC Barcelona begins a new cycle in the UEFA Champions League wrapped in problems. It will be necessary to see if the players can differentiate the wardrobe problems and play all for the same objective.
