“These recent days I have been thinking about what I can say,” Messi said during a press conference.
“The truth is that I can’t think of anything. This is very difficult for me, being here my entire life. I’m not ready for this.
“My family and I were convinced that we were going to stay here, at our home. We thought we’d be staying here in Barcelona.
“Today I have to say goodbye to all of this. Since I was 13, after 21 years, I’m leaving with my wife and with my three little children. This is our home.”
