The late Argentine footballer, Lionel Messi, confirmed that he would never have imagined leaving Barcelona.

Messi said in a press conference held at Barcelona this morning: "I tried to act with humility and respect, and I hope that this is the memory that I leave."

Barcelona star Lionel Messi burst into tears at the beginning of his press conference on Sunday, in which he announced his final departure from the club, which he spent 20 years with, at a time when he is likely to move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Messi climbed to the podium, to the applause of the audience, before he burst into tears, and after holding his breath, he said at the beginning of his speech, "I never imagined leaving Barcelona."

Messi's contract with the Catalan club expired on June 30, and after he reached an agreement with his club to sign a new contract, it was not officially approved due to economic and structural obstacles related to the laws of the Spanish Football League.
