Lionel Messi’s Very Candid Full ‘La Sexta’ Interview Shocks

FC Barcelona star Lionel Messi sat down with Jordi Evole for a very candid and personal interview for La Sexta.

After the problems he had in the summer with the Catalan club, Messi did not hold back from expressing his love for FC Barcelona. He claimed, “Barça is my life. I love Barça and Barcelona. I have always given my all for this club. I feel everything for this shirt. Barcelona is my life. I grew up both in the club and in the city. I learned everything here. The club has given me everything, trained me as a footballer and as a person. I have a love affair with Barça and the city.”

Messi started playing for FC Barcelona at a really young age. He spoke on his arrival from Argentina to the Catalan club and claimed, “It was a difficult time, I left everything behind. My life changed completely. But I was just thinking about trying to achieve my dream. And that’s why I focused on training, matches and school. Little by little, I made friends.”

The Barca superstar discussed his troublesome summer with the club and the reasons why he wanted to leave after so many years. Messi claimed that he “had been telling [Bartomeu] for six months that I wanted to leave and asking for his help and he just said ‘no, no, no,” As a result, Messi sent a burofax to the club to make his decision about leaving the club official.

Messi also claimed that Barotmeu started to leak things to the public to make the player look like the “bad guy” in front of everyone. 

When asked about current head coach Koeman’s project, he said, “With Koeman, the team and the club have a seriousness about them and an idea. He is doing things very well, and has been a great success. However, it’s not an easy situation because there are new and young people.”

Messi also did not give a clear answer on whether he will leave FC Barcelona in June or not, but expressed his desire to play for the MLS “one day.”
