Barcelona's Quique Setién on Lionel Messi, Eric Abidal fallout

'In any club like this there are problems,' were the words from Barcelona manager Quique Setién as he weighed in on the fallout between Lionel Messi and sporting director Eric Abidal. The former Barcelona defender has sparked fury after he blamed the players for the sacking of former manager Ernesto Valverde, saying: 'Lots of players were not satisfied [with Valverde] and nor did they work a lot.' In response, Messi posted on social media, saying: 'I think that when players are talked about, names should be given because, if not, we are all being dirtied and it feeds comments that are made and are not true' Subscribe to Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/GuardianFootball Barcelona in meltdown after Lionel Messi hits back at Eric Abidal ► https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/04/barcelona-meltdown-lionel-messi-eric-abidal Support the Guardian ► https://support.theguardian.com/contribute The Guardian on YouTube: The Guardian ► http://www.youtube.com/theguardian Guardian Sport ► http://bit.ly/GDNsport Guardian News ► http://www.youtube.com/guardianwires Owen Jones talks ► http://bit.ly/subsowenjones Guardian Culture ► http://is.gd/guardianculture
