Barcelona is at the top of the league, with 84 goals scored and 30 received, and a 9-point lead over Real Madrid. Despite this, the team does not forget Lionel Messi's departure, who left the club in 2021 after a successful career. At that time, Messi said goodbye to FC Barcelona, the club that catapulted him to stardom, after winning 35 official titles. Messi's press conference was emotional, and the Argentine player was overcome with a deep sadness as he saw his loved ones in the front row. 'I spent my whole life here and wasn't prepared for this', Messi said in his farewell speech. Last year, when the burofax issue arose, Messi was convinced that he would stay in the club, but this year not. 'I was blocked like I am still now', the player said. Despite the negotiations between Messi's representation and the Barcelona directors, the agreement for his continuity was left unfinished due to the Financial Fair Play.
