Lionel Messi wept as he bade FC Barcelona a final farewell
in his last press conference at the Spanish club’s Camp Nou Stadium.
The football star got emotional as he delivered his goodbye
message.
Messi said it was hard for him to think of what to say and he did not know what to utter.
During his farewell speech to Barcelona at a press conference today, Messi tried and failed to prevent himself from crying before delivering his speech, clearly affected by this week’s news that he would not be staying at the Camp Nou.
“These recent days I have been thinking, giving a lot of
thought to what I can say,” Messi began, following days of silence on his part.
“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 hard here and with
the city and football has been amazing.
“But today, I have to say goodbye to all of this.
“I’ve been here since I was 13. After 21 years I am leaving
with my wife and three little Catalan-Argentine kids, and I can’t tell you
everything.”
