Messi's farewell press conference 

For a guy who doesn’t talk much, this was deep

Every story has a beginning and an end, but most importantly, those memories will remain with us forever

Sad to see how (in my opinion) the greatest player in the world is being disrespected by the team he gave his heart and soul to.

The saddest part is how he has said that he has always wanted to leave Barca like the legends of the past did, walking around a fully packed Camp Nou with his family, circling the field a few times as he looks at it for the last time before leaving, the stadium chanting his name, taking a picture with all his accolades, everything. But instead, he was told to pack his bags and forced to leave without even seeing the fans.

There’s a genuine quality to this that most high profile athletes are lacking. Sincere and grateful for the club that raised him..and understanding that family life is very important.

The best player ever in this world! The loyalism, he is still representing is unbelivible, it is heartbreaking to see him so disappointed... Leo, do not give it up, you are a legend, no one can take it away from you, you have worked hard for it! Show them, that they made a wrong decision, and reborn again and you will reach a higher level, although it is hard to beat you level of yours! Do not give up! You have made so many fans happy, you still have the power! We are with you!!!!!

That piano song in the background was a bit too cheesy. It's already emotional enough without any gimmicks.

Legends never die. Wherever he will go he will shine.

There’s just something about seeing a grown man cry, huh

has there ever been a more gifted footballer? probably not.. wears his heat on his sleeve.. love to c him play in the EPL ..

This is day and night with the happiness you have Sunday, at the World Cup final, dear Messi, when you had so much fun and happiness!!!! Thank you Messi for all the joys you bring to us, your fans. You are the greatest of all time!!!!❤

Made me cry at least he hasn’t retired that would be more sadder than this

I wanted him to leave last season, but damn it's so sad the way he is going out this time.

Don't cry Messi... You have got so many acchivements... Some important for you is your family...where you will go, the people will love you...Remeber, Stoichkov...His is your friend...You must call him and He will give you his support and ideas what you must to do... Barcelona will love you forever!!! Best regards from Bulgaria....!!!

Its been 2 years still hurts

This is one of the saddest moments in football history

Messi eres grande y serás el más recordado y acuérdate que se siera una puerta 🚪 y se abre otra Dios tendrá algo más bello para ti y eres un orgullo Bendiciones y saludos ala familia 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🍾🍾🍾🤗🤗🤗

End of an era🥺

Greatest soccer player of all times!! Magisteeeeerial Liooneeel ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️ LM10😉👊🏼

I’m so grateful for that I had the opportunity to see Messi play, also with Neymar and Suarèz🥺❤️ a real legend!!

Love you massi ❤ you win ❤❤❤

Barcelona, you had the best in the world… you blew it.

Ramos: welcome to PSG Messi 🔥

💔💔 even after these time

*Leo Messi FCBarcelona* 🏟️ 778 Games ⚽ 672 Goals 🤝 305 Assists 👑 End of an era

"He has shat uh shed a lot of tears this summer"

*Even if he decides to play for free he will not be able to do so because of laliga's financial rule(Barcelona wages has surpassed the maximum allowed) what a sad reality for Barca fans. How does things like this happen in big club like Barcelona?*

with the pandemic ongoing.. many clubs will be in trouble financially.. many players have to take deep pay cuts or sitting out until fans can be at the stadium..

Love ya brother Messi, thrive elsewhere.

Honestly, it's worked out well for Barcelona. Sad to see him leave this way but at 34, he really had a couple of good years left but probably not the quality of what is required to win trophies without another superstar. At least now they can focus on young talent and still have money in the bank. If Messi goes to PSG that will be a very entertaining move that can make the most of his last quality years.

Es triste pero alegría que no seguirá más en el Barcelona!

Lord bartomeu master class than even arsene Wenger from the Future would have never imagined

This confirm after few years messi will come back to barca and continue to play for more years

Spain without the s

now Messi Suarez and Neymar the golden trio of Barcelona have all left what's next for Barcelona ?

I legitimately cried while watching this bye Messi.

Goat

As a ronaldo fan i started tearing up

the history maker

if want to stay..i'll stay..i dont really care about money..and here is the example of loyalty over money..😆😆😆

Nice background music lol

Damn i had never heard his voice

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

It's like Kobe leaving the Lakers. (Rip black mamba!)

xavi iniesta ronaldo ramos messi quit. goodbye la liga, goodbye el clasico. wont be same again.

This is not properly translated

He promised his sons that he will return to Barca but he's signing with Inter now 😭

Poor messi :(

From 13 😭

So like he wants to stay, he should stay?? What's preventing him from staying??

But why tho?

😢😢😢

💔

😖😭😭😭😢🤕

Barcelona is such a disgrace.

He will be back. Trust me

Si tanto quería quedarse en su casa en Barcelona, pues que se quede ahí. No tiene necesidad de ir a jugar a ningún otro lado. No le falta más dinero, que se retire.

Damn

Way to deep for me 😔….

At least he doesn’t have to play with a shit team anymore

he left just because of money ...they didn't agree to pay what was he asking for.... now crocodile tears showing in press he is just a selfish guy after all those years in club he could had stayed until retired rather left because of money i have been following him from first match he played for barca

hahahahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂

If the club really means that much to you, lower your demands to meet the clubs offer. You're leaving because Barcelona cannot afford you.

I don't think Barca and Real will be on top of la Liga anymore

What if CR7 was joining Real madrid like this and leaving ,would he be crying?

Ok, so, you asked for 100 milions, just for commissions for your brother and father, and cry if Barcellona says no? What would you expect? The buy you even if they already have you?

Like my feed

And they said goat cant cry..

barca is going down now .Not good players

what a show he put on , last seasons he wanted to leave Barcelona . now it's the worst thing ever ... great acting great script

Messi will not join PSG. Do you really think he will play in the same team with Ramos? Nope. Ramos tackle Messi so many times and if they play in the same team Ramos will automatically tackle Messi because hes used to it

Does he really need to leave his home as he is saying? He got enough money to just stay in Barcelona and retire

Lol, yet he wanted to leave a year ago. If he was THAT passionate he could have played for the absolute minimum salary for a season? Jus' sayin' 🤷‍♂️

Cr7 is the best player in the world. Someone who cry in a press conference is not number 1.

Could of stayed , play for nothing, he's rich beyond words . greedy

Mateo🥰

You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man Messi never dives

9 months after and it still hurts like the first day 🥺

Don’t cry Messi, Barcelona need to retire Messi no10 untouchable

The beginning of the end of La Liga. RIP Mbappe's contract with Barca or Real Madrid.

Josep Maria Bartomeu: The Devil of Catalunya.

The end of an era. Your memories at Barca will never be forgotten. Good luck, Lionel Messi 🙌🏾🙌🏾

This guy should be ending his career in Barcelona, playing a farewell game in front of a sold out crowd. What a horrible way to leave, but I guess things could be worse. He gave them everything and has more than repaid Barca for what they did for him as a child. A living legend who will be sorely missed.

I am so sad the way he left Barcelona: he wanted to stay, waiting for a new contract for months, then a day, he supposed to sign his contract, he was told, the club could not register him so he had to leave. He could not say goodbye from fans, he could not have his farewell match... such a shame on Barcelona, could not keep their biggest legend and could not give him a farewell he deserved... Barcelona just did not deserve him. PSG hopefully will appreciate him more. I am happy to see him smiling again. Wish him all the best in his new club, hope all his dreams come true. Will be nice to see him playing again with Neymar.

It's been 2 years and leo won the wc obviously but am still here man ..please comeback leo please😭💔

There isn't really much to say about this guy. His level of humility and modesty is astonishing and impressive. I view him as a perfect example for any player whom has a good potential to reach a great level. I am at loss for words and deeply sad at the fact that the world wouldn't get to see the mouth opening,jaw dropping instances that this genius regularly offers. At least, he has established his claim as the greatest of all time. I'm content with that.

I feel really sad about how Barcelona has treated this, such a fuss about not wanting him to leave but honestly doing nothing for him to stay... If they didn't have enough money, why the hell did they sign contracts with Depay and Aguero? It's as if they wanted to get rid of Messi or didn't treat him as a priority... I supported Barça for many years, but since Neymar left (not saying it was because of him) it seems like the administration has been taking more and more shitty decisions to the point where I now resent the club and can't stand it anymore.

We will always remember you in Fc Barcelona!

The saddest moment in football history

We all love Messi ,wherever he goes😊

No no no no no no no no no no no.... Please please don't leave..... I can't stop crying I can't imagine the club without him I can't imagine him wearing another shirt...... No no no no no no no.....

" Don't it always seem to go But you don't know what you've got till it's gone. You pay paradise to put up a parking lot."

What is that song being played in the background in the last 30 second of the video?

Welcome to Farmer League.

Real madrid happy yes 😂😂😂😂

I love you messi

So humble. A fully formed man, seemingly child like in his appreciation for what has been given to him, but missing the perspective of what he had given us.

Barcelona dint give a crap about one of the best of all time

He could have made a monument for himself and played the rest of his career for the benefit of his club for a token euro a year. But apparently the money he has earned over the past years/decades is not enough for him. In this respect, I find the statement "The well-being of my family is the focus" a bit mendacious.

1:37 يقول رقاصه ؟؟؟؟؟!
