Plot twist?
The president of Barcelona, Juan Laporte was interviewed tonight (Sunday) and did not hide the club's desire for the comeback of Lionel Messi, who left the team in the middle of 2021 for PSG.
"Messi was everything, for Barca he is perhaps the best and most efficient player in history, perhaps the greatest player to come to the club since Johan Cruyff," said the president of Barca, before the Spanish Clasico game held this morning in Las Vegas against Real Madrid.
"We had to say goodbye because the club is bigger than any player, but I think it's our responsibility to make sure it has a different ending. I want to hope that Messi's story in Barcelona is not over yet, and that we find a good time to write a beautiful final chapter," explained Laporte about the flea's departure.

Laporte reiterated that the financial problems created during the time of Josep Maria Bartomeu almost made the institution disappear and limited all avenues, leading him to take the difficult decision to send Lionel Messi to the Parisian club, knowing that he would lose his best player and "idol" As he himself describes it, therefore, he admits, there is an independent debt to settle with the Argentine.
"Yes, morally. As president of Barça, I think I did what I had to do, but on a personal and professional level, I think I owe him," he concluded.
