Barcelona: Lionel Messi bid an emotional farewell to Barcelona during a live press conference from Camp Nou today.
The Argentine spoke before the press, his family, his teammates and friends, where he confirmed that his time with Barcelona was up.
The legendary forward leaves the club after 21 years with the club and 17 seasons in the top flight.
Messi could not contain his tears as he entered the press room, struggling to find any words to sum up the situation initially, before finally being able to utter his sentiments about the overall situation.
"It is the most difficult moment of my sporting career," he said.
While Messi stated that he had not agreed on anything with any other club, he did clarify that he was eager to continue adding trophies to his already long list of achievements.
When asked about a move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Messi admitted that it was an option.
After the press conference, at a private event, Messi posed with the 35 titles he won with the first team and was applauded by his colleagues and friends, the Spanish MARCA newspaper reported.
