Typically rings about faith, politics, and F.C. Barcelona.

I’ll miss you too, #Messi

Pic of the year.
End of an era.
Historical day.

Lionel Andrés Messi

@OohLalaFootball Our 10 is still in Barcelona, can we have this conversation later.

[John Bell @johnbell360]

It’s something Messianic that this player was sacrificed for the sins and corruption of others, yet all the while the punishment is being piled on him, being led like a lamb to slaughter, he never says a word against the perpetrators.

Maybe Jesus is tattooed on his heart too.

This is the word of Leo #Messi:

[John Bell @johnbell360]

@BumperGraham Let’s be straight with it: Messi was the GOAT sacrificed for the Super League. It’s diabolical.

[Andy West @andywest01]

Laporta admitting he could re-sign Messi but won't accept La Liga's new investment deal is stunning. He's openly choosing the possibility of a European Super League over the greatest player in the club's history.

[Graham Hunter @BumperGraham]

Still in pieces. This isn’t a story about money. Power. Politics. This is a superhuman human who’s given us a tsunami of joy and awe in pieces emotionally because he thought his life and future at the place he loved were assured. But he was betrayed #Messi

[John Bell @johnbell360]

@tariqpanja Messi offering to play for free wouldn’t have freed Barça from La Liga’s financial restrictions. That CVC deal would’ve, but Super League is the sacred cow apparently worth more than the GOAT.

[Raj Chohan @rajsinghchohan]

Just to clear something up about Messi playing for free (he shouldn’t have to). Barca’s wage to revenue ratio is currently at around 115%. Even without Messi’s wages, it’s still 95%. La Liga’s salary cap is set at 70%. So even if Messi played for free,Barca couldn’t register him.

@tjuanmarti Say it for what is: Messi was the GOAT sacrificed for the Super League.

Worst letdown.. No way should the Greatest Of All Time be treated like this..

[FC Barcelona @FCBarcelona]

Greatest Applause
Of
All
Time

[John Bell @johnbell360]

I don’t want to get used to it, to watch Barça without you, Messi..

[John Bell @johnbell360]

Woke up to a red dawn..

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

...and it starts like this for Leo Messi.

[John Bell @johnbell360]

I believe

[Julien Laurens @LaurensJulien]

I think Messi will end up staying and I’m forcing myself not to dream too much of a Neymar - Mbappé - Messi front 3! However, PSG believe they can do it. Talks ongoing with the Messi clan already but so much can still happen, including the Barça-Messi-la Liga issue being resolved

[John Bell @johnbell360]

We can make more together. I’m not ready for goodbyes yet.

[FC Barcelona @FCBarcelona]

History has been made with you, Leo 🐐

[John Bell @johnbell360]

@RNS The plot twist in the Crusades that you never imagined.
