Gerard Piqué has said goodbye to his great friend and now former teammate, Lionel Messi, in an emotional letter which is added to those written by those who have shared day by day with him. The Barcelona center-back highlights the legendary career that the Argentine has drawn at his side.
Farewell letter from Piqué to Messi
“Nothing will ever be the same again. Not the Camp Nou, not the city of Barcelona, not ourselves. After more than 20 years at the Club, you will stop wearing the Barça shirt. The reality, sometimes, is very harsh. We met in 2000, we were 13 years old and had a career ahead of us. What career! The mother who bore us! If we had designed it at that time, it was impossible to make it better. A fucking madness! In my first season after returning to FC Barcelona, we won the treble and you became the best player of all time. From Rosario to touching the sky of Rome. That's where the legend began. What came next is history. And what a good time we have! Now you are leaving, but I know that one day you will come back. There are pending things to do. Have fun, enjoy wherever you go and keep winning as only you know how to do. Here we will miss you. I love you leo“.
