The FC Barcelona first team squad spent much of Monday commenting and observing the latest developments at the club via the player's WhatsApp group.
The fallout from the latest scandal to rock FC Barcelona which involves the club, allegedly hiring a company of social media 'influencers' has not failed to generate interest from the first team squad. AS understands that the first team WhatsApp chat group was busy yesterday evening following the breaking news story which referenced two current active players in Leo Messi and Gerard Piqué.
The reaction from the players ranged from jocular to disbelief and scepticism with the squad failing to grasp how the club can be embroiled in so many problems and off the pitch and scandals which indirectly impact on the players preparation ahead of a key series of fixtures with El Clásico and Champions League games on the horizon.
According to Catalan sports daily, ‘Mundo Deportivo’, Barça president Bartomeu is set to meet directly with both Messi and Piqué in an effort to offer an explanation behind the latest scandal to rock the LaLiga club.
