🚨🎙️Leo Messi: “I have offers from Europe, but the only European team i wanted was FC Barcelona.”
"I talked with Xavi, we talked about the possibility of me coming back. We were very excited."
"I really wanted to return to Barça but after having lived through what I went through and the departure I had, I didn't want to be in the same situation again... Waiting to see what was going to happen and leaving my future in someone else's hands."
“Although I heard that it was said that LaLiga had accepted everything and that everything was fine for him to return, there were still many other things that had to be done.
💰“Money, never been an issue with me. We didn't even discuss the contract with Barcelona, but that written offer never arrived to me. If I wanted money I would go to Arabia.”
I heard that they had to sell players or lower player salaries and the truth is that I didn't want to go through that, or take charge of obtaining something that had to do with all that.”
“Hopefully, I don't know when or what or when but hopefully one day I can still contribute something at Barcelona and help because it's a club that I love as I always said. I appreciate the affection I had from people during my career and I would like to be here again, yes”
“I am at a moment where I want to get out of focus a bit and think more about my family. I spent two years in which I was so bad at a family level that I did not enjoy it.
“I want to meet again with the enjoyment of my family, my children and the day to day. That's why it was a bit the decision not to give up on Barcelona.” 🏡❤️
"They give thanks that he is one of them. How often have they said that prayer of thanks? How often have we seen those bright wide eyes? How often have we seen the faces of opponents, the dismay, that he should come and scar them."

In 2014, a brave 15-year-old student in Pakistan spotted an individual wearing a suspicious vest attempting to enter his school.
Ignoring his friends' pleas to flee, the courageous teenager chose to face the intruder. In a selfless act, he tackled the individual, triggering the vest's explosion and sacrificing his life in the process.
This heroic action averted a potential tragedy, saving the lives of countless fellow students.
Following his death, his father said, "My son made his mother cry but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children."
🇺🇾💔 Luis Suárez: "Days before each game I take three pills, and hours before playing I get an injection. If not, I can't play. Hence the limp."
"I have to think that in maybe five years I won't be able to play 5-a-side football with my friends."
"The truth is that the first steps in the morning are very painful. Anyone who sees me thinks that it is impossible for me to play a game."
"My son asks me to play with him and I simply cannot." (Radio 890 Sport)
