FORMER BARCELONA PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE TO MESSI AMID RETURN TALKS: “THIS IS HIS HOME”

Gaspart touched on that point as well and said: “It is a clear reminder that this is his home and Leo knows how much he is loved.”

“[The club] couldn’t cater for what Leo deserved and what they were committed to paying him. It was very sad, because a great player was leaving and because we couldn’t fulfil what had been agreed,” Gaspart said.

But he insisted that even though Barça are not in a great position financially right now, the time might be right for Messi and the club to reunite again.

“The idea is that he can close his career and stay at the club for life. This has nothing to do with money. The club is not at its best at the moment, but now he has a great chance,” he signed off.

the reason why the messi ronaldo debate is still going on is simply because ronaldo is more marketable than messi. people don’t like to admit it, but aesthetics, the way a player presents themselves, and the way they market themselves play a key role in forming their opinions on them as players.

ronaldo has always been more marketable than messi, because he spoke english, messi didn’t.

ronaldo always interacted more with the media, whether it was in interviews, pre/post match press conferences, or apps like instagram.

now that he’s made a youtube channel, people are trying to use this as an argument for the goat debate. no one ever denies ronaldo’s influence on the world, he is one of the most marketable athletes ever, hence his millions of followers/subscribers, but his footballing ability is nowhere near messi’s.

any person with eyes can tell you that what messi did in 2012, 2015, 2019 etc. is exceptional. teams literally had specific defensive tactics for him. maldini came out saying he was thankful he was injured, so he didn’t get to play against messi. when messi played against their teams, world class players and coaches always pointed him out as the biggest threat. always.

we’re talking about a player who has won 8 ballon d’ors, 6 golden boots, a player who has won absolutely everything at international level, and who was the main focus of every single trophy his club(s) won. a player who scored 91 goals in a calendar year, 73 in a season etc.

if messi is considered a goal scorer, he’s a goal scorer with 300+ assists, not normal.

if messi is considered a playmaker, he’s a playmaker with 800+ goals, not normal.

there’s no my goat bullshit, there’s only one actual goat and he is lionel messi.

Lionel Messi’s 800th career goal (03/23/2023)

[belltaviasbff]

western news outlets and reporters are claiming that messi wearing the bisht, the black garment/overcoat, “ruined” (the telegraph) the best moment of his life.

“it’s a shame they’ve covered his argentina shirt” (gary lineker, bbc pundit). “just why, why would they do that?”

do you have any idea how tone-deaf that comes across as? do you know how expensive this piece of clothing is? did you consider that this is a way an arab host is honouring his guest? by giving him the same cloak their royalty wear? did you consider the fact that no one else cares??????

messi himself posted the picture on instagram 😭. anyone can see that he didn’t look at all uncomfortable when they were putting it on him. western media is clearly more disturbed about it than he is. he just looks like he’s having the best moment of his life and he couldn’t care less if he was wearing a spacesuit right now, but thank you to western media for enforcing the idea it was a problem.

oh and even if he did have a problem with it, can i just make it clear that NO ONE, less still you morally superior westerners, is allowed to talk about someone else’s culture with such a ridiculously distasteful and arrogant tone.

honestly in a way i’m so glad this world cup is over because now i can stop hearing western media’s constant passive aggressive, frankly racist attitude towards arab/muslim culture. good riddance…
