The sad feelings and the loss of a friend dominated the Argentine star, Lionel Messi, the Barcelona captain, and prompted him to resort to his Instagram account to write a touching farewell to the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, who moved to Atlético Madrid, but the post was high and reached the point of accusing the Barca administration of expelling the "Pistolero".
The Bulga, who has a friendly family relationship with Suarez, confirmed - in an interview with the Catalan newspaper SPORT - that there are "many things that have hurt him in recent weeks" and that is why he went out of his way to say goodbye to Suarez.
Messi wrote a few days ago through his Instagram account, "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 comrades, lunch, dinner .. many things that you will never forget. ".
He added, "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 seems that Messi returned and reviewed his accounts, and found that his post was cruel, and he acknowledged that his actions and words divided the fans of the team between rejecting and agreeing to them, but he needed to express his dissatisfaction with seeing a teammate sold.
He told the Catalan newspaper, "I wrote what I felt in that harsh moment. I think some people thought that I should be silent and let things go as normal as I did on previous occasions, but a lot of things hurt me in the past weeks and I had to express this."
Barcelona exited the Champions League in a humiliating manner for the third season in a row, the last of which was a humiliating loss 2-8 against Bayern Munich, but Messi - who has one season remaining in his contract with the Blaugrana - confirmed his full commitment to providing everything he had for the club, and that everything he went through In the previous period it will not affect his desire to win and achieve titles.
On this topic, Messi pointed out that "everyone who knows me knows that I can only play to win, and give everything I have over the green rectangle. This has happened throughout my career and will not change. My commitment to (Barcelona) and the badge (leadership) is absolute and nothing changes it." .
