Lionel Messi Shocks Football Fans

5 August 2021 will mark the end of Lionel Messi's bittersweet relationship with Barcelona. Indeed everything that has a beginning will always have an end.

For some time now, the club has been struggling financially, and this has played a big part in Messi not signing a new contract. It was perceived that the signing of Sergio Aguero would convince the football icon to stay!

Messi joined Barcelona in 2000 from his boyhood club Newells Old Boys from Argentina. During his time at the club, Messi played for about five years.

Arguably the best football player of his time, Messi has achieved everything a footballer dreams of!
