The relationship between the Barcelona fans and Andre Gomes is reaching a tipping point and club spokesperson Josep Vives has acknowledged the measures the club are providing in response.
Jeered by certain sections of the Blaugrana crowd whenever he steps onto the pitch, the Portuguese midfielder has spoken out on the pressure he feels and how he 'shuts himself away'.
"We support and understand Gomes' statements," stated Vives on Monday night.
"It is a situation that the club has been following and acting on.
"We work with him as well as all the professionals at the club.
"Everyone has a personalised programme and Gomes is no exception."
However Vives stopped short of directly condemning the supporters' behaviour towards Gomes.
"We respect freedom of expression and therefore we will not censor what the fans do at any time," he added.
"Yes, we ask that they support a player who, with these statements, has shown his commitment to the club and that he wants to do well."

I think it should go in a another team anyway they said ronaldo is a bad person at least he never treated his teammates bad not like messi say he wilk go if barca do not sign better player is unfair to those player liked gomez and denis suarez you have to think about them also have some respect anyway you can see ronaldo is a humble guy compare with messi just look portugal do not have big player in it but steel won euro 2016
@yalz, please say what you know..... even Ronaldo complained bitterly this season that the departure of big players has made them dip noticeably this season, and it is testament in their being 3rd in table as well as the way they were ousted in the Copa del rey........ the difference between big teams and small teams are in the depth of their squads(quality) so Gomes's below par performance is nobody's fault but his. something he has already admitted....... as for Ronaldo Messi comparison's, I just want to drop one comment now..... for the past three seasons, Ronaldo has been very less involved in general play. All he does is stay in the six yard box and get served on a platter......... where are the powerful drives, the outside 18 shots of left and right foots, where are the dribbles and the mazy runs in the wings? where are the Free kicks?All disappeared........ to be a great or greatest, you make things happen..... you don't just touch the ball 5 times in 90 minutes...... just sharing my thoughts

I feel he's a good player with very high potential but with Barca midfield already being crowded and especially with the new signing of Arthur playing time for games is going to be more difficult but I feel that if he goes out on loan it would do him good cuz he can't grow without playing time
