The football world on Messi leaving Barcelona

Leo’s departure obviously could not leave all the players and coaches indifferent, as well as fans and pundits around the globe. The entire football family couldn't ignore that shocking news indeed. And the Argentinian, of course, fully deserves that attention and even more.
Let’s begin with former Barcelona coach Josep Guardiola, who went on to praise and thank Lionel. Here’s Pep’s quote:
“It was a surprise for everyone, including myself. Being a football fan, I have incredible gratitude for the most extraordinary player I have seen in my life, for the titles he helped to win for Barcelona, and for helping me personally. All I can say is thank you so much for bringing Barcelona to another level, to allow Barcelona to dominate the world for a decade, and I wish him the best for the last few years of his career. He will not be forgotten.”
Long-time Leo’s teammate Sergi Busquets became the first Barcelona squad member to say goodbye to Messi:

“I’m still trying to digest all of that, and I know how difficult it’s going to be; I can only thank you for everything that you did for the club and for those who have accompanied you in these years, and especially towards me.

You first came here as a child and became the best player in history, having made this club grow to the glory it deserves. I can always say that I played and shared many moments with you, most of which were very good. I’m happy about the friendship we made, and I miss you so much. I can only wish you and your family all the best because you fully deserve it. Everyone will miss you,” Busquets posted via Instagram.

Though, the news about Messi’s departure has shocked not only the people related to Barcelona. Thus, for example, Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has posted the following story via Instagram. It appears to fairly well emphasize the feelings of the majority of football fans at that moment.

Football pundit and former English striker Gary Lineker has given a scathing reaction on his Twitter page: “How on earth have Barcelona got themselves into this predicament?” And also added: “Tens of millions around the world watch and are interested in La Liga (not all of them obviously) because of Messi.”

Leo could not hold back his tears even before the press conference, but he managed to calm down.

"This is really difficult for me after so many years, having been here for all my life. I am not ready for this,"

"We were at home, we thought we would be staying at Barcelona...it is what we wanted,"
"Today, l have to say goodbye."

"These last days I’ve been thinking, giving a lot of thought to what I can say. And the truth is that I can’t think of anything, this is really difficult for me after so many years.

"I’ve been here my entire life, I'm not ready for this. And last year with all the nonsense, I was convinced of what I wanted to say, but this year it is not the same.

"This year my family and I were convinced we were going to stay here, that is what we all wanted more than anything. We were at home, and we thought we’d be staying here in Barcelona, the time we’ve had here and with the city and [in terms of the] football has been amazing.

"But today, I have to say goodbye to all of this.”

After that, he got a long standing ovation. And it was at this moment that Leo truly could not hold back his tears.

Apart from that, Leo was asked about his future club and some other things. But, of course, no specifics have been announced at the moment. Clearly, Messi is not up to it yet.

Well, guys, all great stories come to an end one day. And what is the end of one story is always the beginning of a new one. A new story begins for both Barcelona and Leo. And as the saying goes, don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
