Why Lionel Messi is Leaving FC Barcelona and How Manchester City is The Perfect Fit For His Last Act

Lionel Messi shocked the football world last week when he sent in a burofax to, in his mind, leave the club after nearly 20 years. A Messy legal battle will be ahead to see if he can legally opt out of his deal one year before expiry, but in this video I will explain all of the drama with club President Josep Bartomeu and why we really shouldn't have been surprised that Messi wanted to leave. At age 33, time is running out for more accolades, and Barcelona at the present is at its lowest point in nearly 17 years.

Damn, Barcelona is just an utter embarrassment. Messi has done so much for them and they still won't let him go peacefully. What a joke.

Yeah its one thing if you make bad transfers and just don't have the right manager in place but all of the other stuff like the board deflecting blame and calling out the players indirectly just shows the dysfunction.
