Barcelona fans will hold a tribute for Lionel Messi

DBasia.news – Lionel Messi is definitely an iconic Barcelona player. Blaugrana fans reportedly plan to pay tribute to their idol after leaving the club.

The Argentine football superstar has finally left Camp Nou after two decades. Messi was forced to leave despite agreeing to a new contract with Barca, who are in the midst of a financial crisis.

The reason is that Barca failed to meet the salary limit rules according to LaLiga regulations. As a result, Los Cules were unable to register their new players, including Messi considering his contract was renewed after it expired.

Messi’s departure has definitely hit Barcelona fans. The six-time world player of the year has scored 672 goals and provided 305 assists in more than 700 appearances and brought Barca 34 trophies. Among them were two treble winners in 2009 and 2014. Messi is even considered one if not the best footballer in history.

Barcelona fans must now get used to watching Lionel Messi play for other clubs. Messi is reportedly close to Paris St. Germain and will be introduced on August 10.

Even though Messi has left, Barcelona fans will certainly not forget his services. According to ESPN, fans plan to pay special respects to the 34-year-old. They will sing Messi’s song in every Barcelona game after 10 minutes. The choice of the number 10 seems to be related to the jersey number that Messi wore throughout most of his career there.

Barcelona players and coach Ronald Koeman have sent Lionel Messi their farewell. The player himself is scheduled to hold a press conference to say goodbye to the club that has raised his name.
