TWITTER REACTS AFTER MESSI HANDS IN TRANSFER REQUEST FROM BARCELONA

The most popular news going around the world is about Barcelona and football icon Lionel Messi demanding a transfer request away from Barcelona. 

The six-time Ballon D'or winner made his debut for the club in 2004. He has gone on to establish himself as one of (if not the) greatest to have played the beautiful game.

The news sent shockwaves around the world but to people who are close to the player and Barcelona, this is not much of a surprise. Here, we look at the best Twitter reactions to this big news.

 

If Messi is to leave @FCBarcelona by activating a release clause, then I hope the club try to help, not hinder him. He’s been fiercely loyal and their greatest ever player. It would be terribly sad if it finished with a fight between the player and the club.

Lionel Messi is actually leaving Barcelona. This is a whole other level of pain. I'm not ready for this.

He arrived to Barcelona as a young kid with dreams of titles and making history.

He won titles and made history.

He had dreams of becoming a legend and finishing his career at Barça.

He became a legend, but one man ruined his one last dream..

Thank you, Lionel Messi ❤️ pic.twitter.com/YMnS5LbuEo
