Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu met with first team captains on Tuesday over Barcagate, to explain what had happened. Bartomeu spoke to them in what SPORT has learned was a brief meeting. Bartomeu explained that in no moment the club authorised the I3 company to post content against the club's figures like Messi and Pique.
Quique Setien, the coach, was also present at the meeting. SPORT has learned there was no tension at the meeting, and even some jokes. "Well it seems they've put their foot in it again, but that's no surprise, another one," said someone in the dressing room. One of a few reproaches.
