Lionel Messi's farewell Speech at Campnou.

" Hello.... 

Truth is that I don't know what to say.. In this recent days, I have been thinking ,giving lots of thoughts to... Well I could say, and the truth is that I can't think  of anything. This is really difficult for me. After so many years been here, my entire life, am not ready for this. And honestly, last year with all the nonsense with the board,  and everything i was convinced and i knew that what I have to say , but this year is not the same... This year, my family and I were convinced that we are not gonna stay here.. We thought, we all will be staying here in Barcelona, the time we had in this city were so amazing... Well.. Today is... I have to say good bye to all of these. My entire life was in here since I was 13 , and now after 21 years , am leaving with my wife and three little Catalan Argentine kids.. I cant say that in few years we won't come back, because this is our home and I promised my children the same. 

Am just really grateful to all my teamates ,my former teammates , and to the club that has been always by my side . There are so many people out there, so many I only met few times.... This club had always been so humble and so many respect.. and I wanna say to everyone at this house , for the love that I have had with so many good experiences with the club , so many beautiful  things had happened and also some bad things. But all of these help me to grow and improve and made me the person I am today. I have given everything to this club right there from the first day I arrived to the very last day and the truth is that am leaving .. 

Am so grateful for the care the people have shown me. Having saying goodbye,,,,,I never thought of it. But I would be happy if my farewell is with those lovely people in the pitch with cheers..But I never imagined it this way..     

Due to the pandemic, since the last one year, I couldn't be able to play in public and it's very difficult not to see people nearby shouting my name.Now Am leaving the club without playing a final for an year and half ..

If I could have imagined my Farwell, I would have imagined it with lots of people at campnou, So that I can atleast say my goodbye properly.. 

I wanna say again that am so grateful for the love everyone have showed me during these years.. Although I had some eccentric moments and ofcourse some bad moments But the love people had shown me was always been the same.. I recognise their affection to me and the club. And I hope that I can comeback to the club at some point of time and to be with it to make another try to be the best in world..

Honestly , am forgetting lots of things to say but this is all I can say right now as the words seems to be very difficult to dribble.. So it's better to answer some questions. Thanks you.."
