What Barcelona president Joan Laporta said about seeing Lionel Messi at Inter Miami?
Before his move to MLS club Inter Miami, Lionel Messi was linked with a return to Barcelona.
President Joan Laporta has spoken about seeing Messi play for the American club. He admitted that it's strange for him to see Messi, considered Barcelona's greatest player, donning Miami's jersey (via GOAL):
“It's a strange feeling. We identify Messi with Barcelona. That's the way I think most supporters see Messi, because most of his career has been at Barca. "But we respect his decision and we wish the best for him. We want the best for our players. He came to Barcelona as a kid, 14 years old, and he spent 20 years with us. I hope he can be very happy in Miami.”Messi scored 672 goals for the Blaugrana in 778 games across competitions and left behind a tremendous legacy. The Argentine, though, is now on a new journey outside European football for the first time in his career.
