Lionel Messi has hit out at Barcelona's bigwigs for their handling of pay cut measures at the Nou Camp. The Catalan side, like the majority of sporting organisations around the globe, are looking for the best way to handle the financial ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic.
Laws in Spain allow the club to apply for an ERTE, which means they can impose a temporary pay cut of up 70% on their employees during these unprecedented times.
Messi and his team-mates will take the deduction but the law would've meant non-playing staff also had to accept the same cut.
The Argentine though released a statement on his Instagram which stated the club's employees would retain the entirety of their salary.
