Iconic football star, Lionel Messi had difficulties holding back his emotions as he confirmed his exit from Barcelona after 21 years at the club in an emotional press conference on Sunday.
Messi, 34, has been a free agent since July 1 after his contract at Camp Nou expired, although he had verbally agreed on a new deal on reduced wages only for the Catalan club to pull the plug.
Barcelona on Thursday, August 5, confirmed that Messi would not sign a new contract with the Spanish club amid financial concerns “and structural obstacles” which prevented Messi from renewing.
Speaking at a press conference from Camp Nou, which was attended by the entire first-team squad past players – including Xavi and Carles Puyol, Messi said he was keen to continue at Barcelona and did ‘everything he could’ to stay but it was not possible.
‘I don’t know what to say here,’ he began. ‘These recent days I’ve been thinking, giving lots of thought to what I could say, and the truth is that I can’t think of anything. This is really difficult for me after so many years being here my entire life.
‘I’m not ready for this and honestly last year with all the nonsense with the burofax and everything, I knew what I wanted to say. But this year, this year is not the same. This year my family and I were convinced that we were going to stay here, that we were going to stay at our home – that’s what we wanted more than anything.
‘We always made this our home, we were at home, and we thought we would be staying here in Barcelona. The time we’ve had here in the city has been amazing. But wow, today I have to say goodbye to all of this.
‘I’m been here so many years, my entire life, since I was 13. After 21 years I’m leaving with my wife, with my three little Catalan-Argentine kids and I can’t tell you everything we’ve lived in this city and I can’t say that in a few years we won’t come back, because this is our home and I promised my children that.
‘I’m just really grateful for everything, all my teammates, all my former teammates, everyone at the club, everyone who has been by my side. There’s so many people, even some I only met a few times. I have so much respect.
‘So many beautiful things have happened – also some bad things – but all of this helped me to grow, helped me to improve, and made me the person that I am today. I gave everything for this club, for this shirt, from the first day I arrived until the very last.
‘The truth is I’m leaving. I’m so grateful for the care people have shown me, I’d love to be able to go in a different way. I never imagined having to say goodbye because I never thought of it.
‘Especially I imagined it with people on the pitch, the last cheers, but we’ve not been able to play in front of the fans this past year because of the pandemic and it’s been difficult not to hear their cheers, not to have them nearby, not to hear them shouting my name.
‘And I leave this club now without seeing the fans for over a year and a half. If I’d have imagined it, I’d have imagined the Camp Nou full, being close to people and being able to say goodbye properly. But it has to be this way.’
Messi moved to Catalunya from Rosario as a 13-year-old and enjoyed enormous success at the club, winning 10 La Liga titles, four Champions League crowns, and the Ballon d’Or six times.

Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede has revealed that she doesn’t do giveaway online and prefers helping people physically.
The actress, in a recent Instagram Live chat with Saturday Beats, recounted how a woman who claimed to need money to start a business, blocked her on social media after she sent her some money.
According to the mum of one, she felt cheated and shocked after the incident.
In her words, “I don’t do giveaway online because I know how much I try to reach people physically. A woman once sent me a message that she needed to start egg business, and I sent some money.
“However, by the time I was sending her a message to let her know I had sent the money, she had blocked me. Apparently, she blocked me immediately she got the alert. It was mind-blowing. I was shocked and I felt swindled.”
Speaking further in the interview, the 37 years old actress stated that passion is not enough for someone to have a successful acting career.
She said, “The question is, why do you want to act? That is the first question I ask. When I ask them, they tell me, ‘I love acting’. You cannot come into acting just because you love it.
“Don’t come into acting as your last bus stop. There are other things you can do by the side. Eighteen years ago, acting just for the passion would have helped. But now, there are so many brilliant people in the industry, who have even been to acting school.”

I used to crack a joke with a friend and said, you see my dress, the whole thing how much does it cost because I have the permanent white up and down that I wear. If I don’t change it, you can’t know because if it fades, it fades to white. White can’t fade to black, it can only fade to white.”
