Lionel Messi In Tears As He Confirms His Exit From Barcelona

Lionel Messi got emotional after he confirmed the news about his exit from Barcelona. The Spanish striker is now no more the part of Barcelona team.

Messi fought back tears during a press conference on Sunday when he confirmed he is leaving Barcelona, where he has played his entire career.

Six times winner has been out of contract since the end of June and Barca says they cannot afford to keep him.
Reporters and others gathered in the press conference applauded him for several minutes as he took the stage at the start and again as he left the stage to embrace staff in the club’s trophy room.

He said, “The truth is that I can’t think of anything what to say. This is so difficult for me. I’ve been here my entire life, I am not ready for this. My family and I were convinced we were going to stay here, that we were going to remain at home.”

“I am extremely grateful for this club. For my teammates, for my former teammates, for everything.. everything.. everything.. I have so much respect for this club. Beautiful things have happened here. At this club I have become the person that I am today.”

He further said, “I want to say it again. I am so grateful for the love that people have shown me here. I recognize your love, which I feel for you as well.”

“I did everything possible to stay here, so did Laporte. I have heard people say that I did not want to continue, but I did everything in my power to stay.”

He continued, “It’s going to be a difficult change, especially for my family. They thought they were going to stay in this city. But I know we are going to be okay. We take it on, and we have to move forward.”

“PSG is one possibility. But I can not confirm anything to you. Right now, nothing is closed. But we are talking about a lot of things.”

He concluded, “I am not coming back to train, I am not coming back to the pitch, I am not coming back. This is the end at this club. And yes, this is the most difficult moment of my career.”
