Former Barcelona president Joan Gaspart admitted he “went too far” in castigating Lionel Messi for a perceived reluctance to return to his former club.
Gaspart—the man who was in charge of Barça when Messi signed as a 13-year-old back in 2000—called out the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner for not returning to Catalonia, suggesting the reason for Messi’s recent lack of recent association with the club that helped make him a superstar is an ongoing feud with current president Laporta.
