“I’m going to do our best, we will do our best to fight for all the goals and hopefully it will happen and can be dedicated to the people who have had a bad time. I had a bad time this year, but it is hypocritical to say that if you compare it with people who have really had a bad time with the virus, with people who have lost relatives and who have lost many things. Hopefully I can give my best and dedicate victories to all those people who accompany us from above and their families, to be able to dedicate the best to those people who are having a bad time and that we can overcome this virus once and for all and return to normality ”Said Messi, in an interview with the journalist Rubén Uría, from goal.com.
The economic factor was fundamental for the decision to stay. “I will continue at the club because the president told me that the only way to leave was to pay the 700 million clause, that this is impossible, and then there was another way, which was to go to trial.. I would never go to court against Barça because it is the club that I love, which gave me everything since I arrived, it is the club of my life, I have made my life here, Barça gave me everything and I gave it everything, I never know It crossed my mind to take Barça to trial ”, he said.

Messi gave his reasons for having stated that he was leaving. “I told the club, especially the president, that I wanted to go. I’ve been telling him all year. He believed it was time to step aside. I believed that the club needed more young people, new people and I thought my time in Barcelona was over, I was very sorry because I always said that I wanted to finish my career here. It was a very difficult year, I suffered a lot in training, in games and in the dressing room. Everything became very difficult for me and there came a time when I considered looking for new goals, new airs. It did not come because of the Champions League result against Bayern, the decision had been thinking about it for a long time. I told the president and well, the president always said that at the end of the season I could decide if I wanted to go or if I wanted to stay and in the end he did not end up keeping his word ”.
Regarding the dispute between him and Barcelona for the contract, he declared: “If I don’t send the burofax, it’s like nothing happens, I still have the optional year I had and the year continued. What they say is that I don’t I said before June 10, but I repeat, we were in the middle of all the competitions and it was not the time. But apart from that, the president always told me: ‘When the season is over, you decide if you stay or leave’, he never set a date, and well, it was simply to make the club official that it was not following, but not to get into a fight because I did not want to fight with the club ”.

Although he insisted that Bayern Munich’s 8-2 did not influence his decision, he did acknowledge that this defeat hurt him a lot. “After the defeat in Lisbon it was very hard. We knew they were a very difficult opponent, but we didn’t know that we were going to end that way, giving such a poor image for the club and for Barcelona. We gave a very bad image. It was wrong, I did not feel like anything. I wanted time to pass and then go out to clarify everything, “he said.
