Lionel Messi fought back tears during a press conference on Sunday at which he confirmed he is leaving Barcelona, where he has played his entire career.
The Argentinian superstar, 34, six times a Ballon d’Or winner, has been out of contract since the end of June and Barca say they cannot afford to keep him, with Messi admitting that a move to Paris Saint-Germain is a “possibility.”
‘I love this club’
“This year, my family and I were convinced we were going to stay here, at home—this is what we wanted more than anything,” said a suited Messi as he struggled to contain his emotions. “I have still not come to terms with the reality of leaving this club now, changing my life. I love this club.”
