Lionel Messi is leaving Barcelona.
The news took almost all the world's media by surprise, which had to displace the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games from their covers and give rise to the football bomb of 2021.
Sport
, one of the sports newspapers in Catalonia, could not hide its surprise:
"Messi does not renew with Barsa!"
.
The page was dominated by a photograph of the Rosario star on the field, with his back turned and his head down.
In retreat.
"The main (reason) is that in the current economic situation and with the current legislation he cannot register him," says
Sport,
who replicates the words of the club's statement.
As
, another of the references of Spanish sports journalism, also chooses an image of the Flea to head his page.
Head held high, but clearly hesitant, he looks at Leo.
"Barça says that Messi is leaving",
maintains this newspaper, which had been more resounding minutes before:
"Official: Messi is leaving Barsa".
The international media reacted to the departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona.

In fact,
La Gazzetta dello Sport
was one of the first media to react to the news.

: "Clamorous: break between Messi and Barcelona."
