It's so dumb from Barca. They don't want Messi to leave but next year he will go for free... Barca could accept 100 mil and Garcia and Angelino from City but no. Messi really is right thats a desaster at Barca. And for me it's disrespectful that they want Messi to stay against his will

[olieshaw]

It’s going to be super awkward at Barca knowing that he wanted to leave and he is just there because he has to be 😭

More accurate title:
Lionel Messi being held HOSTAGE by Bartomeo

[viveklamba]

Such a shame for a Legend like Messi....He did so much for the club and he deserved more respect than making him hostage..

[andrexavier]

Well that was waste of everyone’s time. 😏

This is the end Gary, it's been nice knowing you
RIP Gary Cotterill

The club played themselves to be honest. After that interview he gave, fans are only going to love him more. He’s going to leave at the end of this season, Barcelona will receive $0, he leaves as a hero, and they’ll be the villains. Now he has months to plan his next move, and he doesn’t have to rush anything. Clubs can also prepare and make movements to have the cash and build a team with him in mind.

Why is he insisting that he said this would happen? He was saying the exact opposite a few hours ago (which was completely understandable at the time).

Most relieved man in football - Riyad Mahrez 🥳

Laughable coverage by Sky Sports up until this moment lol, over saturation that has ended up with the outcome we all expected. 😂

Man City fans: *Genuinely believed Messi was leaving Barcelona*

Messi this entire time: Sike, that’s the wrong number

It was nice knowing you for a few weeks - Man City

Plot twist: Man city to pay 700m for messi release clause

[ReluctantGamer]

I woulda loved to see him in England to good to be true. Messi is the goat!!!

[Rothstein]

To that guy on every vid saying he would never leave, you were right.

[MT-jtyp]

I don't think he is gonna play the same if he stays

[lukeufc]

We’ve heard it all before and we will again in 6 years at the end of the day messi stays

[governmentnameunknown]

Reading the comments and I've noticed some people have misunderstood what's happened.

He didn't choose to stay. He's been forced to stay.

[bluecrasher]

I just couldn't see it happening but I was starting to accept that he would leave and than this happens.
