How did Messi find out he had to leave Barcelona?

In an exclusive interview to a European media, the best player in the world, Lionel Messi said: "Many times we think too much and the kids assimilate it and accept it in a way that we don't think. Knowing him, I know that Thiago is like me and carries it inside without expressing it, but it's nothing serious either.

It was hard for us to sleep and rest during all these days because we were anxious about the uncertainty of what was going to happen after the club's announcement, because we didn't know what we were going to do, we had nothing defined", assured Spanish journalist and writer Guillem Balagué, who gave details of the hours after the failed agreement with Barcelona, the club he joined when he was just 13 years old.
