I just hate that he wont play in top5 league..thats all..and waking up 3am to watch his games…
Messi saved Barça by not coming
Why MIami, not Riyadh? Probably because Miami is closer to Argentian than Riyadh.
As a Barcelona fan , I will always be sad for not giving our HERO and SON the send off he deserved. As a Barcelona fan I am heart broken he could not return either. But also as a Barcelona fan I want the best for him. This is the best for him. MLS is good place to hang up the joursey. Much better than Oil league
He will get 2 or 3 goals games haha 😂
Messi did the right thing for his Family and most importantly didn't trust these Barca snakes. Very humble and intelligent of him to not get into the ego of fame and money etc. He can always come back to Europe after maybe a season or 2 in America if he wants to, he's better than most at his age.
Messi didnt choose MLS over Barca. Reality is that he wanted to go back to Barca but coz of financial situation of Barca it wasnt possible to return.

R9onaldo left Barcelona in 1997 because they screwed him over financially. Barcelona have a habit of not being transparent. Messi made the right decision, there is no point to going back. Miami is massively Latin and Messi will be happier there. I personally hate Paris and French arrogance.
Should hv played for free if he loves the club….😂😂
As a Barce fan we love Messi for every thing he has done for the club . We the fans love him . We respect his dicisions and its the best choice for him
The shame was when Messi left Barca in the first place. Would have loved to have seen him play his entire career in that shirt. Returning? Probably not the best thing for him or the club. As the old novel says- "You can not go home again". The club is not the same and neither is he.
He is better in there because Barca don't need to build team around hem. But so it whit new players 😊
I didnt realise just how shitty Inter Miami is, let alone the whole league yrrrrrrrrrrr 😅
Many thanks to the pundits at ESPNfc for their based and neutral perspective. It is a breath of fresh air as opposed the narratives at the beginning of last season. Apart from that, just remember this, Javier Tebas made it impossible for Messi to leave under Bartomeu and under Laporta, impossible ro comeback. Guess which president supported the super league.
where is la liga with real madrid , anyone believe the salaries they pay the players. its obvious they pay them under the table.
laporta never wanted messi back. he knows he would have harmed the team. bye bye . barca is bigger than messi . now we have a chance to win the champions leauge , with messi it is not possible.
Is all about money 🤑💰 and messi is going for more money Notting else 😅😅
Barcelona should be relieved he went to Inter Miami.
Going to MLS means you've decided you don;t really want to compete anymore just play pressure free football and enjoy yourself, which is fine for Messi after all he has achieved .
However Barca need players who are hungry to win and hungry to prove themselves.Bringing in Messi and probably having to change the setup of the team to accommodate him would be a backward step for Barcelona, they've dodged a bullet by him not deciding to join them.
As a barça im sad messi still has few good yearscand to play in mls is a downgrade but i still wish him the best i hoped for a great goodbye but it is what it is😣
I’m not blaming this on Messi I will forever love him and be grateful for what he did at barca nothing will tarnish his legacy
La liga has done everything in thier power to remove Messi from Barca and to prevent him from going back to barca.
5 AM IST , to watch messi play , thats a challenge.
Barca treated there bigggest legend worst that Madrid.
Shittiest club management every in existance.
Any random club would have given him a better farewell.
Laporta gives Messi a backhanded compliment.
Sorry I work for the biggest bank in the world Barca are trying to refinance again let a lone afford Messi,Saudi Arabia did offer him 500 million euros a year,he wanted to go to Miami.Good news is Saudi Arabia want to buy Barca,whatever the cost.
Good to see the whole racism in La Liga has been solved. Those pre match banners really did the trick! Back to the football😅
He has three kids and a wife. Everyone knows women rights in saudi. LOL. Living in america > living in saudi arabia. He is also closer to argentina and his kids will live in first world country and get the best facilities available.
Inter Miami are about to sell a lot of jerseys
I’m glad he didn’t trust them not to make the same mistake twice. It’s a good decision imo. It was a nice dream but what is meant to be is meant to be. Also I’m American so having him here will be exciting. Shaka is right. He shouldn’t have to wait.
Also what fun to have Beckham and Messi together working with the same team.
Laliga will crash now without benzema and also no messi
Never return to an ex – It never ends well! As an absolute Barca fan, Messi has done the right thing!
