After a week of uncertainty, Lionel Messi has decided to stay at Barcelona. Here’s how fans on social media have reacted to his decision.
It lasted a short while but it seemed so long. The final decision has been made and Messi has decided to stay at Barcelona.
It’s been less than a fortnight ago since the Barca captain submitted his transfer request to the club.
Back and forth claims from both player and club left football fans all over with prospects of a sour ending.
At a point, it was even suggested Messi had plans to take Barcelona. The 33-year-old did confirm that plan was on the cards but his love for the club wouldn’t let him do that.
As expected, the story is the most talked about topic in the football world right now.
The reputable Goal were the first to break the story officially and we take a look at how fans have reacted to Messi’s u-turn.
For a player like La Pulga, there will always be two sides to the story. A set of fans believe the Barca captain has a poor mentality and continues to do stuff like this time and time over again.
Elsewhere, another set of fans think otherwise and claim Messi is being held ‘hostage’ by Barcelona.
The saga is over and a new season awaits. Messi has decided to stay at Barca and we’ll have to wait one more year at least for more info on his future.
