There's no where Messivwill be loved and adored like Barcelona if there's a chance he should go back simply switch to the MLS.

For me, Messi has reached the Pinnacle of football success after the world cup win. He already had a happy ending. He such pursue happiness while choosing his next club, maybe, go back to Argentina and play for his favorite team.

Beautiful piece by a fine journalist who is the best at what he does. Ben, kudos.

Messi had better not sign to extend his contract. I think a career has been remarkable, perhaps fulfilled and written in GOLD after the world cup trophy. PSG fans ain't anything being close to sharing their love for Mbappe with any other player. Leo should just move on, my take.

Thank you for this kind comment. Much appreciated! I agree he is probably fulfilled after winning World Cup. Will be interesting to see what he does this summer…

I couldn't hold my breath when you failed to mention Sergio Busquets's name as the players who helped Messi to prosper in Barcelona.

Busquets too, of course. Point was that it wasn’t just Xavi and Iniesta, as many speak about…

Let me guess, had he mentioned Busquets, you would have pointed out that he missed David Villa or Puyol. Right?

Hahahaha. Funny though. But just know that people will always point at something as a missing link. Nothing is perfect. Perfection always elude a mortal man
