Lionel Messi has delivered an emotional message to fans as he reflects on the end of a remarkable chapter, insisting that he leaves with peace after giving everything to the shirt he represented with pride.
The moment has arrived. I leave in peace, I gave it my all,
Messi said in a heartfelt message.
This shirt was my dream, my pride, and my life for years.
Thank you for loving me so much, thank you for your support.
I will always carry you with me.
The message has sparked an emotional reaction among football fans, with Messi looking back on years of representing his team and the deep connection he built with supporters throughout his extraordinary career.
The Argentine superstar has enjoyed one of the most decorated careers in football history, winning major domestic and international honours while establishing himself as one of the greatest players of all time.
Meanwhile, Messi has also taken a major step into football ownership after becoming the owner of Spanish club CD Eldense.
The move represents a new chapter for the 39-year-old, who is now set to have an influence away from the pitch as he begins building his profile as a football club owner.
Messi’s involvement with CD Eldense adds another dimension to his post-playing career, with the Spanish side becoming closely linked to one of football’s biggest global names.
As Messi reflects on his playing journey and looks towards the future, his emotional words underline just how much representing his team meant to him.
From wearing the shirt as a dream to eventually becoming a football owner, Messi’s latest chapter promises to be just as fascinating as the career that came before it.
