Koeman's phrase that led to Messi's decision: "That's the end of the privileges"
According Diario Ol?, Messi left his first meeting with new Barcelona coach Koeman angry and frustrated when the Dutchman told him "that's the end of the privileges", and that as coach of Barcelona he was going to "be inflexible, it's necessary to think of the team."
For Messi, distraught after the thrashing at the hands of Bayern, this was too much - a position he saw as undermining his status as by far the best player in the squad and one he was unwilling to tolerate.
Told you guys he's done the board and Koeman are DONE
