Twitter Users Collapsed after Lionel Messi’s Emotional Press Conference in Barcelona
Emotions were evident on Lionel Messi’s face when he attended the “Swan Song” press conference in Barcelona on Sunday, and why won’t it be? Messi started his football career at the club when he was only 18 years old, and left the club as one of the best footballers of all time.
The young boy from Argentina had already grabbed eyeballs with his insane dribbling skills when he commenced his beautiful career and after spending 17 years at the club, there was so much to look back to.
The memories which Messi created will always be etched in his heart as well the hearts of every football fan. The striker took giant strides with the club and he always came up with inspiring performances against the best in the world. Messi led Barcelona to 34 titles and scored a record-breaking 672 goals in 782 appearances he made for the club.
It wasn’t easy for the talismanic striker to leave the club, which he considers more than a family. In fact, Messi confirmed that he was ready to take a wage cut to stay at the club but the deal couldn’t be finalized due to the financial obligations of the LA Liga.
“I was convinced to stay here in Barcelona. This is my home, our home. I wanted to stay at Barça and it was the plan… and today I’ve to say goodbye after my entire life here,” Messi said at the press conference.
Messi also confirmed that the talks are on with PSG Saint-Germain but nothing has been confirmed yet.
This is how Twitter reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional press conference.
