WHEN YOU THINK EVERYONE IS ANGRY AT YOU, BUT THEY START CHANTING YOUR NAME… 👀
That’s exactly what happened to Balde. Despite his recent performances and decision to leave, Barça fans still showed him love.
THAT’S THE LOVE OF BARCELONA. ❤️💙
❤️🩹🇦🇷 Leo Messi: “Dad, you kept asking me to play in one last World Cup… just days before it began was when your condition got worse”.
“It was the first time you weren’t going to be there with me at tournament… but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel”.
“I kept telling you we were going to reach the World Cup final so you could make the trip, this was my mission once again”.
“After every match, I waited for and missed your message. That’s when I realized how serious the situation really was”.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about going as far as possible, give you more time and the chance to watch one of the games”.
“We reached the final, but you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it so I could bring the trophy to you and show you another one. I couldn’t”.
“My legs just couldn’t give me any more”.
“This time I tried to push beyond what my body could handle, but I couldn’t”.
“I never managed to feel physically right”.
“We didn’t become champions Dad, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every match. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play in it… as you told me, always”.
Burying your own father with your own hands is a pain that words can never truly express. 😭😭
Today, Lionel Messi had to say a final goodbye to his beloved father, carrying a pain that no child should ever have to endure. After giving his father his final farewell, Messi was visibly heartbroken and emotionally shattered. 🥺😞😭
He could've easily walked away after the last World Cup, leaving behind the perfect ending. The final chapter written exactly the way everyone dreamed it would be.
But that's never been Messi.
Why chase the perfect picture when you still have something left in your heart to give? Why choose your own fairytale ending when your team still needs you?
The highlight of his career has always been playing for the team, not chasing his own perfect story. And that's probably how his international career ends.
Thank you, Messi, for another all-time World Cup campaign. No matter what happened in the final, history will never forget the sight of a 39-year-old Messi from MLS standing on the biggest stage in football and proving, once again, that greatness has no age.
Messi,
I can’t thank you enough.
You have given me more joy growing up than anything. I am forever grateful to you for what you have given me and billions of others. You mean so much more than football to us. You have inspired us and made life more beautiful.
The child left in me leaves with you today.
The hurt from today is not from Messi losing this game, it is from football losing Messi.
The greatest of all time. We will never see anyone like you. Your legacy is eternal.
I can’t wait to tell my future children about Lionel Messi.

Julián Álvarez is trapped in a prison:
- After another trophyless season, the player tells Atletico Madrid through his agents that he wants to leave the club this summer.
- He informs them of his priority to join Barcelona, especially with Lewandowski leaving and his childhood dream of playing for the club
- Barça meet with his agents and agree personal terms
- Meanwhile, instead of focusing on winning trophies, Atlético Madrid have chosen to play the victim card and make statements aimed at Barcelona, making disrespectful jokes
- Due to all the media pressure, Atleti have released a total of 5 fake parody statements because they’re scared of Barça signing their best player
Don’t get confused, Atlético. You’re not our rivals and you’re not sitting at the same table as Barcelona.
We need your help. Spread the message.
