No confidence motion against FC Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu underway

The no confidence motion against underfire Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu is underway after the club allegedly received the number of signatures needed to bring forward the proposal.

The motion was put forward after Lionel Messi requested to leave the club following a fallout with Bartomeu.

Messi has since reversed his decision but has seen long-term allies Luis Suarez and Arturo Vidal sold by the club.

Barca got their season under new head coach Ronald Koeman off to an impressive start following a 4-0 win over Villarreal with Messi on the scoresheet.
