With this, we have officially seen everything in 2020.
If reports are to be believed, Lionel Messi has expressed the desire to leave Barcelona, the team he has won 4 Champions League trophies with.

Messi has asked to leave on a free transfer, which is definitely going to make things trickier. For the uninitiated, his release clause ended in June, and he remains under contract till 2021.
With things going downhill for a while now, speculations of his move from Barcelona were constantly being made. And the final nail on the coffin, proved to be Barca’s 8-2 loss to Bayern earlier this month.
Lionel Messi is actually leaving Barcelona. This is a whole other level of pain. I’m not ready for this.

If Bartomeu still doesn’t resign, than this will be remembered as the worst phase in Barca history.

Its so tough to even imagine Messi won’t be with Barcelona from now on.
Thank You, Messi, I am privileged to have lived to watch you play.#GOAT#Bartomeu pic.twitter.com/Oqi7O5Q4cg
While this opens up a lot of avenues for Messi, it is being said that he is in talks with Manchester City bosses as of now.
Having said that, only time can tell what will happen. But Messi leaving Barcelona has sent social media on a frenzy, as you’d expect and here are some of the reactions on the same.
One of my biggest regrets in life is not taking me and my dad to a camp nou game and watching Messi create magic in real life.

I learned Spanish just for Messi, dreaming that one day I could go to Barcelona and watch one of his game, seeing him leave with glory and cheers, just like Xavi and Iniesta. Never thought that one day it would end like this. 20 years of glory and now he’s only getting this? pic.twitter.com/Yk0hv661xu

In 16 years with Barcelona senior team, Messi went on from becoming a prodigy, to a legend and GOAT – but the only thing that never changed was the name on the front of his jersey.
