Lionel Messi has expressed regret regarding the nature of his departure from Barcelona, describing the experience as leaving him with a strange feeling. The football star stated that his exit from the Spanish club, after so many years, did not unfold as he had intended. He was compelled to leave as a free agent in 2021 when the club, facing financial troubles, could not agree on a new contract.
His final period with the Catalan team was further marred by the pandemic, which meant he played his last matches, including a farewell game in an empty Camp Nou stadium, without any fans present. Messi subsequently joined Paris Saint-Germain before moving to his current club, Inter Miami.
