The name of Leo Messi appeared again in a memorial day for FC Barcelona starring the farewells of two legends such as Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, who today played their last game at the Spotify Camp Nou since the club will have a new stadium as of 2024.
The Spanish press did not miss the opportunity to ask coach Xavi Hernández about the possible return of the Argentine star, but he clarified that everything will depend on “what he wants to do.” Likewise, he assured that “La Pulga” is loved by “all the Catalans, regardless of whether he comes or not”.
“All the culés agree that Messi deserves a farewell, a tribute, let’s see. Messi is the history of the club, we don’t know if he will come or not, but he is the best footballer in history and he also deserves a farewell “, the Barca coach pointed out.
On the other hand, Xavi spoke about how much the team has improved since his arrival and specified that it is all due to group work. “We have all done our bit to be where we are and it is a positive sign to continue working, even if we go to Montjuic we need the love of all these fans,” he said.
Regarding the farewells to his former teammates and still managed by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, the coach stated that: “They are two Barcelona legends, I think they are the best I have seen in their position. Everything has turned out well, we will miss them ”.
“I have told them that they are lucky, not everyone can say goodbye like this, cheered by the people and knowing that you are leaving, with two titles, which are not little, and with the gratitude of the fans. They have the feeling of having done a job well and that is priceless, they deserve it, ”he declared.
