His coercion returned to a club that would lose it for nothing ... There is no winner from Messi's decision to stay in Barcelona

Barcelona fans will celebrate watching their favorite star, Lionel Messi, for another season, after the Argentine player agreed to stay at the Camp Nou on Friday, but this decision - based on the statements of the player himself - only means putting a clinically dead person on the devices that keep him alive but without life.

But the result that ended the fight between the football icon in the world and one of the biggest clubs, indicates that there is no winner, as everyone came out as a loser from this unexpected crisis.

On the face of it, it appears that the best player in the world, 6 times, at the age of 33, has backed away from his position in a heated dispute over his contract, which broke out last week after revealing his desire to move for free.

Barcelona club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, with the support of the Spanish League, insisted that Messi's contract - which was due to expire next summer - contained a penalty clause that the club would obtain 700 million euros if it wished to leave to another club.

Messi said - in a statement on Friday - that he decided to stay reluctantly to avoid a legal dispute with a club he joined as a junior and won more than 30 major titles with him and scored more than 600 goals, but the decision was not easy.

However, Messi revealed a dangerous piece of information in an interview with Goal.com, when he said, "I want to live the last years of my football career happily. Recently I have not found the happiness that I seek inside the club."

Messi enjoys great wealth, so his 70 million euro reward, nor the free transfer opportunity next summer, did not play any role in the decision to stay.

It is clear that the Argentine player was disappointed by the atmosphere in Barcelona, ​​on the pitch the team suffered a humiliating 8-2 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and off the field his relationship with Bartomeu reached rock bottom, and he described his management of the club as a disaster.

Despite Messi's love for Barcelona and the club’s fans ’love for the Argentine player, new coach Ronaldo Coman - who was appointed by Bartomeu - will have to deal with an unhappy player, in his effort to build a team whose image has been badly damaged recently, which will negatively affect the already suffering team.

Bartomeu may claim a victorious exit by Messi’s reversal of his decision, but the club will see its greatest assets leave for free next summer instead of getting a world record sum that would inevitably be earned after an expected battle between rival clubs to get the player’s signature.

Manchester City - who was the closest to Messi until Friday - will feel disappointed, but it is not unlikely that he will try to reach an agreement in the current transfer period or perhaps in the winter transfer period, when Barcelona seeks to obtain any financial compensation before Messi's departure for free.

But Messi's family benefited the most from his decision, as the player said, "When I told my wife and children of my desire to leave ... the whole family burst into tears, as my children do not want to leave Barcelona and do not want to change their schools."

But the truth is, the matter is not over yet, and there may be more tears.
