“Nothing Surprises Me Anymore”: Lionel Messi

Footballer Lionel Messi bid an emotional farewell  to Luis Suarez, the day after the Uruguayan striker had said tearful goodbyes to Barcelona after the club sent him to Atletico Madrid. “Today I went into the dressing room and the awful truth hit me, You deserved to be sent off as what you are: one of the most important players in the history of the club,And not to be fired in the way they did it.” “The truth is that at this point nothing surprises me anymore. Messi posted on Instagram, before renewing his criticism of club management.

Messi has a long-running squabble  with club president Josep Maria Bartomeu which intensified after Barcelona were humiliated 8-2 by Bayern in a Champions League quarter-final in August.

Messi tried to quit from Barcelona but finally accepted that he would have to see out the final year of his contract. Meanwhile, two of his closest friends on the team, Suarez and the Chilean Arturo Vidal have left.
