Former Barcelona captain Lionel Messi has incurred the anger of fans at Camp Nou after the 35-year-old ‘liked’ the Instagram post following Barca’s draw with Inter Milan at home in the Champions League.

The Catalan giants were held to an undesirable and dramatic 3-3 draw at Camp Nou, thus leaving Xavi and his side on the cusp of dropping into the Europa League.

There is no doubt that Barcelona fans are agitated after they watch their club spend beyond their means last summer as they budgeted for reaching the last-16 of the competition at a minimum in order to ease their financial burdens.

And it becomes more frustrating for Barcelona because they are on the brink of dropping into the Europa League should Inter Milan win either of their last two group stage matches against Viktoria Plzen or Bayern Munich by way of finishing third.

But, if it wasn’t bad enough already for supporters, Barcelona fans were angered further when Messi ‘liked’ a post celebrating Inter’s draw.

Fans spotted their former hero had ‘liked’ a post by his compatriot, Lautaro Martinez, who wrote: ‘Heart , Personality , Humility’ and ‘Forza Inter’ on his page.

Meanwhile, Messi has been linked with a return to Camp Nou when his contract expires at the end of the season.

National Daily understands that the Argentina captain has postponed talks over any deal in the French capital until after the World Cup and he’s said to be open to a return to Spain.

It is understood that Barca president Joan Laporta would love to re-sign Messi but he would have to significantly reduce the wages that he earns in Paris.
