It was a calculated statement from Messi, not for the purpose of lashing out in a reactive and petty way. He had to do something when a board member that's supposed to back him up intentionally created a problem out of thin air and added more to Messi's already filled plate of media torment. First clearing his own name and defending himself, then reversing it back to the instigator to show that whatever criticism he gets is from a man who's in no position to be making those sort of comments.
I honestly dont think it was a calculated personal attack, he got carried after thinking they had done their job 6 months ago and now people were pestering him about it again.
He answered in an arrogant and stupid way which he shouldnt have.
But I cannot see any reason for him to have a personal attack on Messi if he knew Messi had never even asked for a new contract.
