Argentine star Lionel Messi has published a farewell message to Uruguayan Luis Suarez, his Barcelona teammate, which carried phrases that reflect the friendship between the players and messages directed against the management of the Catalan club.
Messi wrote through his account on the Instagram site, "Today I entered the dressing room and lost something valuable, it will be difficult not to be with you on and off the stadium. I will miss you a lot, many years have passed, many guys: lunch, dinner .. many things that will never be forgotten."
"It would be strange to see you in another shirt, and more than that to confront you. You deserved to go out as befits one of the best players in the history of the club, he achieved important things as a player or with the group, and not dismissed as they did, but at this stage nothing surprises me.

Ya me venía haciendo la idea pero hoy entré al vestuario y me cayó la ficha de verdad.
Que difícil va a ser no seguir compartiendo el día a día con vos, tanto en las canchas como afuera.
Los vamos a extrañar muchísimo.
Fueron muchos años, muchos mates, comidas, cenas… Muchas cosas que nunca se van a olvidar, todos los días juntos.
Va a ser raro verte con otra camiseta y mucho más enfrentarte.
Te merecías que te despidan como lo que sos: uno de los jugadores más importantes de la historia del club, consiguiendo cosas importantes tanto en lo grupal como individualmente.
Y no que te echen como lo hicieron.
Pero la verdad que a esta altura ya no me sorprende nada.
Te deseo todo lo mejor en este nuevo desafío.
Te quiero mucho, los quiero mucho.
Hasta pronto, amigo.

Messi concluded his message by saying, "I wish you all the best in this new challenge. I love you very much. See you soon, my friend."
The message reflected the feelings of friendship between Messi and Suarez, and the Barcelona captain's dissatisfaction with the way he dealt with the Uruguayan scorer and pushed him to leave the narrow door.
It also confirms Messi's continued anger at the club's management after his recent crisis and his request to leave the team, before retreating and returning to training.
