“Barcelona is Messi. I always want the best for Messi, but the club is Messi,” continued the player who played for Barcelona in 2004-2009.

“If he decides to leave then we will have to try to find another name for the club. We are lucky that at the moment we have the best player of all time,” he concluded.
