What I've just noticed is that nobody is talking about Messi's mental state right now, it must be fragile and depleted. He wanted to leave that didn't work out, get's abuse from some Barca fans as he's "Not Loyal", Barca as a club is not at the position they were once were... https://twitter.com/MadridInfo2/status/1362083396558540800
The passing of Maradona may still be in he's mind because it's been a couple of months, then the Ex Argentina coach sadly passed away. Also their has been the ongoing problems with Barcelona and the higher ups, who promised him things but don’t hold up their side of the bargain.
As well as seeing his best mates/mentors either retiring or leaving, whilst he's been made a scapegoat to the media even though there is so much a man can do. He is still performing with little to no help. What's he meant to do? he has inexperience players who have been thrown..
in the deep end, with ageing players who are not at that same level and cannot keep up with Messi himself. Best thing to is for Messi to leave.
