#JeSuisMessi ? Barcelona unveils campaign to support Lionel Messi .

Ridiculous

Turns out we're all tax evading multi millionaire celebrities .

Disgusting club

Also, you can't help wonder if they'd do the same for players not named Lionel Messi. Where is #JeSuisJavierMascherano ?

Wow, this made my day. Typical Barcelonian move.

Supporting after a person got convicted for tax fraud.

#Wearealltaxfrauds

LMFAO.

I'm not defending that shit.

As retarded as it gets. As if tax evasion was the moral high ground

I can dig it

He's a Milan fan so it probably doesn't apply

#WeAreAllTaxEvaders

Great Campaign, is this the famous Barca DNA? supporting cheats? oh well

Did i say anything about Milan being any better? Of course i condemn something like match fixing, its one thing for a key figure to match fix on behalf of the club, its one other thing to try and band a club and its supporters into something heinous and illegal to the highest extent

These shitty clubs playing in most rigged league in world, doing fixing scandals left and right come out on their high horses and preach us integrity. Messi is fraud blame him don't make ur spastic comments at whole club. By doing that you insult likes of Cryujff, Ronaldinho, Puyol and xavi.
Screw Messi I don't care about him. I do however care about Barca.

The club bring that on themselves by starting a campaign to support him tbh.

How else do you expect people to react?

But if Messi claims innocence

Barcelona believes in his innocence

Barcelona offers public endorsement of their talisman and star player

????

Do they not have an obligation to do so? Is it not feasible to support someone, if you believe them? Maybe the right move is no move, do not comment on matters not related to the sport, do not condemn but do not embrace them either.

But ya'll love to get the pitchforks and torches out. I'm all for it, lets just find a more worthy cause at least.

@Lucifer you realize that this is an initiative FROM the club

Pitchforks are fun tbf.

Barcelona cannot be serious about this poverty PR attempt. And those "shitty" clubs got punished for their actions (if you're referring to Serie A clubs) and have been relatively scandal free since then. Relatively...

Barcelona is literally saying to its supporters support a guy who was sentenced to jail because he simply did not want to pay his taxes. I mean, that's mental and incredibly arrogant of them (which shouldn't really surprise anyone).

Great gesture. The people who should be supporting him more than anything are the Spanish people. Spain with an unemployment rate of 25% needs Messi's millions from tax for welfare payments. So Spanish people have no right to be mad at him, don't bite the hand the feeds you.

He has now paid back the 3 or 4 million he owed from when he was 18 or whatever and he's paid a big fine for that too. Spain needs Messi to keep playing in the country so he can keep supporting their welfare. A true people's champion.

#WeAreAllLeoMessi

lol wat? The *bleep* is my club doing?

I'm not even going to waste my time trying to defend this, the club is dumb, the board is dumb. I'm getting flashbacks of Liverpool players walking out onto the field with shirts supporting Suarez. Pls lets not start this shit.

Btw what  exactly happened to Messi   that  warrants  a support  campaign that's tastelessly similar to the ones  set up for victims of violence and terrorism ? a suspended sentence ? a fine that's not even 4 % of what he made this year ?  

The fact that they think the common man would relate to Messi in this case shows how out  of touch they are.

A club can obviously support if a player is just accused.

Not after he got convicted for a criminal case. Even their statement is pure BS, basically saying we all does this but messi was targeted alone bla bla.


This also brought back an incident everyone forgot with Euro final coming. Imagine if cr wins lmfao

The BANTER potential.
