According to Diario Gol, Messi is unhappy about Gomes leaking information from within the Barcelona dressing room.
And that’s supposedly been heightened by the fact that the leaks are being made to Messi’s Ballon d’Or rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
Gomes and Ronaldo play their international football together for Portugal and are in Fernando Santos’ squad to face Egypt and Holland.
Gomes is said to have been passing on information to Ronaldo in a bid to gain his approval.

Portugal international Andre Gomes has struggled during his spell at Barcelona
Diario Gol indicate Ronaldo is well aware of Messi’s fury about Gomes leaking dressing room secrets.
Messi’s desire for Barcelona not to play Gomes amid his anger with the midfielder has hit a stumbling block.
Ernesto Valverde is apparently under instruction to start Gomes as much as possible to put him in the shop window.
Barcelona are said to be planning to sell Gomes this summer whatever happens in the interim.
