Like always, he is a very good guy
Of course, thank you sir 🇺🇸

I feel for Messi. He obviously wanted to return but knowing it would affect other players, he won't. And still, people are criticizing him for not "waiting" for barcelona and joining another club. He's a selfless man above anything, he wouldn't purposefully cause harm to anyone. That's why I admire Messi.
I mean he has offshore bank accounts to dodge paying tax. I'd say purposefully not paying tax when you have hundreds of millions overshadows all his footballing "goodwill" for sure. He also stands to make a lot more money playing in MLS compared to Barca as well through sponsorship deals and being in ads in the States.

@@Syrrhas lol i actually laughed at your comment
Lol he is so humble and playing for the pride yeah… that’s why he couldn’t lower his salary to go back to the club that literally made him grow (thanks to the injections …) and made him exist as a star from the age of 16. What a pathetic player . He made enough money for 9 generations.

@@DV-zv4ox I adore Messi, but I can understand that not everyone will be a fan of HIM, his football I think everyone respects, even his biggest haters hoping he failed at the world cup would have had a "Woah" moment when they watched that pass vs the Netherlands or the dribble assist vs Croatia, but some people aren't too fussed about him as a person.
Kinda like me and Mohammad Salah, fan of his football, but I don't really care for him as a person. I don't dislike Salah but... idk, I just don't like him much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@DV-zv4ox That doesn't mean you HAVE to like him, I'm not a fan of him either, but I don't hate the guy.

Saudi was much better than MLS, to a country who calls the sport as soccer. Saudi is growing fast, with Benzema and kante joining and more players to come.
He is practically retired now... It was an absolute privilege to watch the GOAT play! Some nights, i will never forget. The happiness this man gave me, i will never forget. The joy me and my pops had watching him play, i will never forget. Thank you, Lionel Messi!!!!!!!! What an incredible career.

He chose Inter Miami because he didn't want his old Barcelona teammates to have to take pay cuts because of him. True selfless GOAT
Jordi alaba and busquets joined him iniesta couldn't as he wanted a mad salary in the UAE
Barca never wanted him back.
This club just want to use him as an excuse to cut pays to other player, again.
They will ask other players to accept pay cut for Messi, then refuse to sign Messi at the last moment.
Just like what they did 2 years ago.
Not really, if he so selfless he should've taken a reduced salary so that the other players don't have to take pay cuts, or at least the pay cuts would be smaller, he's making a clear financial decision because he knows that his last chance of a major payday , he chose USA instead of Saudi Arabia to avoid the backlash while still getting a big contract. He might be the arguably the best player in the history of the football, but he's not a Saint that's for sure.
@@medomustafa2786 Messi, alaba and busquets wanted to join miami as they knew Messi was joining them Messi wanted his mates there that's a condition in his contract he wanted iniesta there he picked the UAE for a payday if miami had iniesta it would be prime Barcelona
@@medomustafa2786As per Spanish football authority a player can not reduced his salary below 50%. Messi was willing to reduced his salary to 50% but Barca was in such a bad financial state they couldnt even afford to pay him.
even he is out of barca he still think about the players from the team... i was loving this man from 2002 and ill always do
I came late. Just two yrs ago. Where was I? Good question. I could kick myself for missing out for 13 yrs. Still I got the tail end and not the worst. After he had a banner yr. If it weren't for these hideous PSG fans, it would have been one of his best yrs at the age of 35-36. What a man! We shall not see his like ever again.
He could of taken the pay cut, it wasn't about that it was about him & his Family getting burnt by barca
@@deezgutz5330 Because there is a limit to how much of a pay cut you're allowed to take in Spain by law.
The law says that you need to earn a minimum of 50% of your previous wage which means that Barca would have to pay a lot of money in wages to Messi... even by reducing his salary 50%.

Makes sense if you think about it about all the financial and mental trouble his return it would have on the club, players, himself and the media
@UnlockOggBar It was the most succesful era/career in football.
@UnlockOggBar Depends how you look at it. Guys gonna grow the game and do big things for MLS which soccer needs. No he’s not gonna be competing for trophies like we want, but hopefully it grows the game the right way. Same with Ronaldo
@UnlockOggBar not yet in internasional career, even in lv club not 100% yet, but almost, yes.
I love how this has humbled all you guys😂🤡 don’t act like you guys were on the same page before he decided to explain why he made the decision I’m not a messi or a Ronaldo ultra and tried to be neutral on this situation and I said that him going back to Barcelona doesn’t make sense everyone thought I was being a hater, keep that same energy guys 😂 you don’t want to accept that your favourite player decided to cash in.. when I said that his career is done and he won all the important trophies and I said he should go for the money I’m a hater ,now because he decided to go for the money everyone is acting like they were on the same page, I remember everything like an elephant, only a small minority were thinking like me, I’ve been keeping up with the news and comments section. All you guys look dumb laughing at cr7 fans 😂
The media and fan pressure alone in serious football countries compared to the US is a huge relief and benefit for him.
Messi had a point and he make the right decision not to return because like he said he didn't want to be the reason and accuse for another players to make paycut from their salaries.. 🐐👑⚽🙌🙌🇦🇷🙌🙌🙏❤️🙏😎✌️😎
Barcelona is too weak
Don’t act like before the news came, you guys weren’t on the Barcelona hype train, I love how he talked about this situation i have been saying that this transfer never made sense 😂😂 you were in feelings telling people that they are haters for being logical now you want to act like we’ve been on the same page from the beginning, busy making fake scenarios in your head because he is your favourite player and anyone who doesn’t see what your saying doesn’t know anything about football. All you guys look stupid and dumb 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡 you were laughing at Ronaldo fans karma is a bitch😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
Hopefully Barcelona can recover quickly from their financial problems so that Messi can go back there without cost of other players
@@crimzon_x4441 6 more years to recover their selling Camp Nou to Spotify now that's how big damage is. But if ever they come back Messi is 42 so yeah they can sign messi but don't expected he will run.

What a legend. He literally cares about everyone else and made a decision on that.

Agree with Messi, imagine going back to your ex club and know they sack people because of you.. that will ruined the mood. let's Barca fix their financial problem and being stable in every matches. Then Messi come back as a finisher (perfections) for the squad. that is the good way for both Messi and the Barcelona squad.
or Messi is just greedy, and is forcing Barca to pay an enormous amount for his services that requires them sacking some players.
many ways to look at this.

As a lover of messi and a New Yorker I am so happy about this. He’s going to grow the sport so much with just his presence. We need it here sadly. Maybe I’m just selfish because I’ll get to go to games now but this move excites me. He is selfless and wonderful. Which is another reason why he’s the GOAT.

Humble he is. Messi didn’t want Barca lowering salaries or cutting off players for him, so he decided to go to Miami with his family to stay away from all that drama.
Indeed big respect for leo he understood what many of his toxic fans and FC Barcelona refused to understand because even if he didn't play with some of nowadays Barcelona team together he didn't wanted to be that selfish while fans and club were ready to sacrifice litterly every player just to sign him
''humble''

He could accept a lower salary lol
That’s very nice of him to say that. It will clear the air and make it feel better for him and his family and his fans. ❤ Miss you in champions league. But it is fine. One day this has to happen. Thank you MESSI ❤
When I first heard his decision I was devastated. I won’t be able to watch many of his games because of time zones. But after hearing the interview last night I made my peace with it and I just love him even more. He put his family over everything and chose peace instead of constant worrying about his future. I can respect that. I was bawling my eyes out when he talked about one day going back to Barca and wanting a proper farewell. He deserves it so much. Thank you for everything you’ve done for us Leo, we’ll always love you in Barcelona. I’ll follow you to to edge of the Earth. I hope they’ll treat you well in Miami.
Also good for me because I am not that far from an mls stadium

@@chinavirus841 it’s not that bad. He still has the national team and his contract allows him to leave at the end of every season.

@@chinavirus841 LGBTQ Burger league 😂😂
He has done everything and proved himself in everything. He did all he could with Barcelona and made them great at every possible thing. Putting that pressure on him again, as he says here, would have been too much at this point. He truly deserves some chill time finally.
This guy is genuine, he has to think about other players, and didn’t want no man to be sold cos of him
Not a Messi fan, but he took a sensible decision. He doesn’t have to go again into similar shit. It’s time to move on.

As an American Barca fan I'm so sad that I never got to see him in Europe. I thought he was going to stay at PSG one more year and I was considering making the trip to Paris. So I'm sad about that. On the other hand, I'm excited I'll be able to see him in person cuz best believe I'm traveling to Miami next year... Hopefully😢
You are lucky..
Good luck bro
You have to go. Believe me, you will be forever regretful if you don't. It's a blessing having seen him live, no matter the circumstance.
Just tel the dum Americans to stop calling it soccer man yal are already a joke with Biden
Leo is right. Our viability plan did involve selling on players and a reformed wage structure. All for him. He's understood that things could go complex, so he chose to move elsewhere. I hope someday before he decides to hang up his boots once and for all, we can bring him without complications or compromises and give him the farewell he deserves. Meanwhile we have to focus on getting stronger and try our best to make a comeback on the European stage, our main weakness. We have to do it for Leo. We have to make Leo proud.
But he also mentioned receiving offers from other European teams. It would be ideal for him to play there for at least 1 or 2 years. However, to be honest, I am the one being greedy as I would love to watch him play in Europe. He has already achieved a lot in football and can now enjoy his time in Miami.
@Pp Fe I mean who cares where he plays anymore? He's completed football and all the side quests too 😂. He probably feels it's a good choice for his family and also the kind of stakes that Messi is getting just by signing, I don't see why he won't if he wants to.
He’s wasting his last years in MLS lol
Uefalona deserve to go back to being a small club with all their cheating.
He put his famiy no1,didn't want the barca players to have their salary and careers affected.,,and other reasons too .What a special human being.Messi all the best,FANS FOR LIFE.

He could have gone to Barca but he didn’t want to be the guy that forced the club to sell players or make them take pay cuts. What a man ♥️ Hopefully he has a magical stay in the MLS.
in the end, Barca need to rebuild the team again when he retired if he return to Barca..at 36, the most he will play maybe until 39-40..and he have won the Copa America & World Cup too, nothing more to achieve, just enjoying the twilight of his career..
So he couldn’t take a pay cut???
@@LEON.1717 Because there is a limit to how much of a pay cut you're allowed to take in Spain by law.
The law says that you need to earn a minimum of 50% of your previous wage which means that Barca would have to pay a lot of money in wages to Messi... even by reducing his salary 50%.
The problem here isn't Messi but how bad the club was run under Bartomeu
@@LEON.1717 and you think Beckham gonna pay $780k per week he got at PSG?moving to USA is a pay cut already..he just don't want to disturb the rebuilding that Xavi has done this season. In 2,3 years when he retired, Xavi need to rebuild Barca squad again if he goes back to Barca..
@@LEON.1717Lmao he did a pay cut when he was in barca as well. Going back would disturb barca finance thats why he left. Unlike some pendu who obviously did for money
That is the best decision to take, so unselfish. What a player!

What a guy. How blessed we are to witness this man
Thank you Leo this was your final contribution to Barca…we needed to move on thanks for closing that door…All the best on your new adventure GOAT 👏🏾

This comment really does speak out. In a way, by not going back there, Messi prevented Barca from clinging onto the past and now they can look forward to creating a new generation team . Breaks my heart, but we all need to move on. It was a contribution indeed!
Man, you made me cry with that comment... 😢
Goat only on barca
I hope he can have the farewell like busi,pique and alba in future,it will be sad to close this journey without a proper farewell.

And that Netherlands game had nothing to do with ego. They were hitting Messi all game and were trash the whole time but scored off some defensive mistakes. The refs were bad, then the Dutch players were all talking shit at the end trying to stir things up just because they knew their football wasn't good enough. Messi's reaction was calm and long overdue compared to anyone else in that position. He didn't even hit anyone.

@@focusin8635 did I say he lack money?
This man is inspirational. La Liga has a cap on how much money they can spend on a singular club therefore accepting messi back to Barcelona some players would be sold/lower salary to meet his demand. Messi never fails to amaze his generosity.
Wow! Well done to Messi.. Obviously, he didn't want to be the reason other players' futures were impacted, so he decided to avoid all that and go to another team.. Let's be honest, not every player would do that.. Most would go to where the money and fame is
If you think the reason messi didnt go to barca is because he thought about the other players, you need to rewatch the Video.
He literally said he was thinking about himself and his family. He did it for himself because it was easier and he was tired of waiting for barca to fix things and actually make a formal offer because it didnt work last time either.
And yes he stated that he didnt want to be involved in player sales or salary reductions because he didnt want other people to blame him for it. Doesnt sound like he was thinking about the other players much but rather about himself not getting the blame.

Are u serious? Have you heard of the World Cup? Do you even know which country is Messi from? Go to play baseball, Gringo marica
@@snakesoldier10 América en inglés es Estados Unidos, no tienen otro gentilicio
The number one sport that is loved and practiced for many generations in a nation's history tends to be the one that country is good at. It will be a very long time before America becomes a real super power in football/soccer when more money and time is spent developing it's athletes to play in the NFL, NBA and Baseball.
Not football but soccer
Hes so sweet for keeping the current players in mind while making this decision, instead he didnt want to let his return affect anyone else and that is honeslty so nice of him🔥🔥Hope he has a great stay at the new club❤❤
Hello
Earned hundreds of millions with barca, which led them being broke af, but of course - he cares 😂😂🤡
@@apexprdt7750 hi dear
This guy is very humble. He's not the social media guy like CR7, etc. Wasn't a big fan until this moment.
Included in Lionel Messi's deal with Inter Miami:
➡️ Percentage on subscriptions to the MLS Season Pass from APPLE TV, paid directly by APPLE
➡️ Percentage of Inter Miami shirt sales, paid directly by Adidas
➡️ Possibility of acquiring an MLS franchise at the end of his career
@@Pal_edits okay?
This is the major difference btw him and Cr7. That's why He has more fans.
@@Pal_edits yet he rejected 1.2 BILLION from saudi arabia?
@@marco3391 this is more than 1.2
Even though his decision of not joining Barca hurts, it is a wise decision and most of all, it is his decision.
Wouldn't be suprised to see alot of good players moving to the mls after this.
For retirement yes.....not during their prime......it is a rich kid sport in the usa.....and no relegation or promotion setup......so everbody get a participation cup......
@m that's obviously going to change. There wasn't enough teams to "relegate or promote" now there's more coming.
@@myownlilbubble how does everyone get a participant cup?
@@anthonygarcia3922 Yeah, the league below them is pretty much set up already to connect to MLS. Its just waiting at this point
I heard Di Maria and Paredes have received an offer from inter Miami .
Good luck legend
You deserve the best because you're the best
He plays club for fun but he is not done with national trophies. Wise decision Leo. Always love and support you!
Messi still looking out for Barca and it's players is so heartwarming
delusional bro he dont care lol
@@crow_g1639 CRY MORE
I haven't watched a lot of Messi interviews, but I always knew and could tell that he was a smart and humble man, who didn't care that much for the spotlight. I respect him even more now after making this decision, not selling out by going to Saudi Arabia and following the likes of CR7 (extremely unlikeable) and not going to Barcelona for the respect of the players there and his wife and kids. Now, he has made a good deal for himself and his family and is at a beautiful place for his kids as he slowly and with no pressure walks towards the finishing line of his career with a happy smile knowing he has achieved everything he ever wanted to.
Hi dear
Messi the greatest of all time
This man can never lie, too honest man, the world needs such this gem
As a life-long Barça fan: He's absolutely right, and I love him for his decision. Barça needs to move on. He's doing us all a favour by NOT returning. Barça was planning to make him their priority over registrating the new contracts of Gavi and others... As a fan and someone who really cares about FC Barcelona, he couldn't let that happen, so he has acted unselfish and I love Messi even more now.
I think he made an excellent decision in all areas for his career now, his finances and the global impact of Soccer for today and the future
Can't believe I won't be able to watch him live anymore... Thank you for everything Messi
Best decision ever for messi.. if he go to saudi, even with high salary, he would be compared against ronaldo.. AGAIN. He has won everything and at 36, he really doesn’t want to play with huge pressure anymore, which is understandable..
It ain't abt ronaldo. It's about him and his family being in a free country compared to living in a kingdom with lots of restrictions.
His target is next world cup
He doesn't want to live in an Islamic country where there are crazy and ridiculous people
bruhhh messi doe'snt care about that stuff lol
@@RDdggrd Plus the way they treat women. It's a nasty dictatorship.
Rest in Soccer the GOAT. Your legacy will be immortal.
