See the Barcelona Chief Lionel Messi attacked during club training

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi was said to have been separated from the club's sporting director Eric Abidal when they faced off earlier this year.

The 32-year-old was furious after the Frenchman accused the current Catalan stars of not giving their best for former boss Ernesto Valverde.

According to Tribal Football, Abidal blamed some of the players for not working hard enough to help the 56-year-old keep his job at the Camp Nou.

The Argentine legend was disappointed with the statement from his former teammate and made his displeasure known on social media.

Messi was said to have left their training session to face off with Abidal after learning he was in a meeting with the club president Josep Maria Bartomeu.

Reports from the club said the 32-year-old got really upset and was pulled back by his colleagues in order to restore peace.

However, normalcy has 'returned to normal' between the pair, although the future of Abidal remains clouded.
