The Argentine international said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo newspaper, “You cannot accept being in second place if you wear the Barcelona shirt, you are in the presence of one of the biggest clubs in the world.”
He also added, “Even if you cannot win, you have to at least fight for every title until the last moment.”
As for the most influential person in his career, the flea said, “There are two people in Barcelona who have had a very big influence on me.”
He continued, “The first is Pep Guardiola, because we achieved many great achievements together, and the other is Ronaldinho because he helped me a lot.”
He concluded, “My message to Barcelona fans is that I miss them very much, I hope we meet again soon, I hope you remain proud to be part of the best club in the world.”
It is noteworthy that despite the improvement of Messi’s relationship with Barcelona’s management recently, it remains unlikely that the 36-year-old will return to Camp Nou before his expected retirement in 2026.
