“It doesn’t make sense to speak about Messi. He is the best player in the world and the best ever. The president has already said that he hopes Messi’s story has not finished with Barcelona.

We will see in the future, but it’s not the moment to speak about Leo, it’s the moment to talk about the exciting players we have here.”Xavi’s statement came after Barcelona’s President Laporta made a statement to ESPN saying.
“Messi was everything,”.”To Barca, he’s been possibly [the club’s] greatest player, the most efficient. To me, he’s only comparable to Johan Cruyff. But it had to happen one day. We had to make a decision as a consequence of what we inherited.
“I would hope that the Messi chapter isn’t over. I think it’s our responsibility to try to … find a moment to fix that chapter, which is still open and hasn’t closed, so it turns out as it should have, and that it has a more beautiful ending.
“As president of Barca, I did what I had to do. But also, as president of Barca, and on a personal level, I think I owe him.”
