Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique are two of the most important figures in Barcelona's rich history, as they have propelled the club to numerous trophies.
However, the once-cherished friendship is in despair right now after some reports came out that suggest that there is a feud between Messi and Pique.
Sources state that the rift between the two veterans started after Gerard Piques allegedly backed Barcelona's management to cut off ties with the Argentine amidst financial constraints.
The news came as a shock to the fans, as they never thought that the former Spanish defender would ever stab his friend like this, and Messi too couldn't digest this news as he went all out on Pique.
If sources are to be believed, Messi has labeled his friend turned enemy, Pique, a " traitor," and that has swiveled the soccer community upside down.
A Spanish media outlet also claimed that the PSG winger turned down the potential Barcelona return because he was not treated rightly and was made to exit rather hastily from his home club.
However, in a recent turn of events, the aforementioned claims can be discarded, as Pique stated in a podcast that Messi's return to Barcelona would be a blessing.
Hence, it would be safe to state that the alleged feud between Messi and Pique could be a rumor to create a ruckus between the two southpaws.
