Masian wrote that the idea of seeing Messi retire peacefully, after having won everything and received the affection of supporters around the world, made him happy. He believed that football had given back to him what he had brought to the sport, and it would have been dramatic for him to stop after his failures in the Copa. According to Masian, Messi had only shed tears at the moment of the anthem and then smiled throughout the evening. He saw in his leader's speech and his departure without regret, with the feeling of having accomplished everything, proof that he was at peace. #Messi #Football #Retraite (translated)
