JAKARTA Barcelona supporters cursed their former star Lionel Messi after the Argentine was caught liking his compatriot Lautaro Martinez's upload on Instagram.

The post in question is the celebration of Lautaro and his colleagues when they brought Inter Milan to hold the Barcelona 3-3 draw in the fourth match of the 2022/2023 European Champions League Group C at Camp Nou, last Thursday.

The result made the Catalan club threatened not to qualify for the knockout stages of the top caste competition between European clubs for the second year in a row. If Inter win against Viktoria Plzen in the next match, Barca will definitely go to the Europa League.

"Penipu. Never welcome him back," wrote someone.

"This is the person Barca fans want to come back," another wrote followed by a crying emot.

"The proof that Messi doesn't feel sorry for the Barcelona club that made him what he is today and then he destroyed the club and fled, he is an shameless traitor," added another.

However, there are also fans who provide defense for the owner of the seven Balong d'Ors. They said it was only natural that Messi liked the post of his teammate in the Argetina national team.

"So what do you expect from Messi? Of course he will like the post. Lautaro is his teammate in the Argentina national team and good friends too," wrote one netizen defending.

"Unfortunately, I hope he doesn't come back," another tweeted.

Messi left Barcelona in the summer last year after the club did not renew his contract. He moved to France and joined Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi's contract with Les Parisien will expire in June, so the possibility of returning to Barcelona is very open. Moreover, club president Joan Laporta has claimed La Pulga will retire at Camp Nou.
