the goat with his price
Bentornat a casa, Xavi.
📷 @leomessi I would have liked to leave in a different way, although I suppose a farewell can never be a nice thing… I would have loved to stay here, I did everything with that goal in mind and, in the end, it didn’t happen I only have words of thanks for all those who have been with me for so many years at the club. And for our fans, who gave me all their affection and I tried to repay them by giving my all for this shirt. I’m leaving, but it’s not a goodbye, it’s just a see you later, visca el barça!!!
When you want PSG to fail but Leo to win
When Leo picks a fight and Ramos comes to defend him
The most heartbreaking thing is that Messi played his last game for Barça without ever knowing it was his last.
He deserves a full Camp Nou and a proper send off...this can't be it.

I would have liked to leave in another way although I suppose that a farewell is never pretty... I would have liked to continue here, I did everything to make it happen but in the end it didn't happen.
I'm grateful to everyone who's accompanied me all these years at the Club.
To our fans, who gave me all their affection, and to whom I tried to repay it by giving everything to this shirt.
I'm leaving but this is not a goodbye, it's a see you later. Visca el Barça!!

We've shared 14 years together, so many moments (some magical and other messed up ones) but we've always stayed together.
It is very difficult to imagine the Club without you or seeing you at the Camp Nou with another shirt.
I wish you and your family are the best you can possibly can be in these moments.
Best of luck, Leo. Playing together was a pleasure❤
look i think it‘s best if we all just collectively agree that this is not happening and just like completely ignore it
Lionel Messi, culé per sempre.
IG Gerard Pique:
Nothing will ever be the same again now. Not the Camp Nou, not the City of Barcelona, not even us. After more than 20 years at the Club, you're gonna stop wearing the Barça shirt. Reality, is sometimes, very harsh.
We met in 2000, we were 13 and just starting our careers. What a Career! Bloody hell! Even if we'd have planned it at that moment, it would have been impossible to do it better. Such fucking madness!
In my first season back at FC Barcelona, we won the treble and you became the best player of all time. From Rosario to touching the sky in Rome. That's where the Legend started. What came after that is history. And what a great time we had!
You're leaving now, but I know thar one day you'll come back. There are still things pending. Enjoy it, have a good time wherever you are going and continue winning the way only you know how. We will miss you here. I love you Leo.
❝The truth is my idea has been to always stay at Barcelona and see out the rest of my career here. Like I always say, one doesn’t know what can happen in the future, but if it were up to me to decide, I would stay at Barcelona for the rest of my career.❞ thank you, lionel messi 💖
