Beyond gaining the reputation for being one of the greatest players in football history, Lionel Messi is also known for being a stalwart and centre-piece for Spanish side FC Barcelona, which is why his farewell to the club was one of the most emotional moments of his career.
Messi was left in tears as he bade farewell to his long-time club, stating that he is grateful for all the love he had received during his years in Spain. He went on to highlight that he tried to remain humble and respectful and hopes that that is how he will be remembered.
The 34-year-old Argentinian has been with Barcelona since his academy days, scoring 672 goals in 778 appearances and inning the Ballon d’Or six times, with a move to PSG being hinted on international media.
