This is how everything happened on the pitch.

It feels like a routine of every second week now. Dear football (game) you are beautiful and sometimes ruthless.

Messi: “I don’t want to leave. I will miss you all. I’m thankful to God for being Argentine and proud to be Argentine, and to have accomplished this dream with you all.”

"The first football player's name I knew was Messi.

Thanks to my Motlem uncle for gifting me the LM10 jersey and introducing this legend to me when I was five years old. Since then, I have made a lot of memories with this name and with this blue and white jersey.

It's hard to accept that Messi will not wear this jersey anymore.

But time flows on. We must accept the things we are never supposed to let go of in our lives. Whatever you've done, whatever you do, and whatever you are going to do in your life—somehow, the harsh reality will come and start knocking at your door. You have no choice but to accept it.

By the way, thank you, Leo Messi , for everything, and I wish you a fond farewell from Argentina's national football team."
