The president of Barca, John Laportatook advantage of a meeting with the Real Madrid and Juventus in USA about the Super League to talk, upon leaving, about Leo Messi, to whom he dedicated affectionate words. “I hope and wish that the chapter of Messi in the Barça not finished. It is our responsibility to ensure that this chapter that is still open, that has not been closed, has a moment in which it can be done as it should have been done and that it has a much more splendid ending than it was,” he said in statements to ESPN.

Asked then if he felt morally indebted to today’s PSG striker, the answer was resounding: “Yes. Morally, as president of the Barça I think I did what I had to do. But also as president of the Barça and on a personal level I think I’m indebted to him,” he explained.
