Rivaldo explains the Barcelona scene ... and his opinion on the possible departure of Messi

The Brazilian star Rivaldo said that Lionel Messi's retreat from his desire to leave Barcelona this summer will not affect his relationship with the fans of the Catalan club, stressing that the relationship of Barca fans with the "flea" still loves him compared to the achievements he has achieved for the club as well as the fun of football.

The former Barcelona player added, in statements to the Spanish newspaper, Marca: "If Messi continues, there will be no problem, because the Barcelona fans love him, and they know that he is still the player who makes the difference in the team, and I do not imagine that the fans of the team will boo or cheer against him."

And he continued: "Certainly, Messi said, stop after the humiliating loss to Bayern Munich (2-8 in the Champions League). It is the straw that broke the camel's back.

And he continued: "Every time Barcelona failed, Messi was bearing the brunt, but he kept trying to help the team, and he might have been bored. The club had signed many players in the past two seasons, none of them succeeded in liberating Lionel or helping him in the offensive line." .
