Messi: 'I wanted to stay at Barca. This is my home, our home'

Speaking about leaving Barcelona, Lionel Messi said: “I was convinced to stay here at Barcelona. This is my home, our home.

“I wanted to stay at Barça and it was the plan... and today I’ve to say goodbye after my entire life here. Recent days I have been thinking what I could say.. The truth is I can't think of anything. This is really difficult for me after so many years, being here my entire life. I'm not ready for this.”

Leo started to cry even before the press conference began, as he looks extremely sad to leave his childhood club.
