You are going to miss him and we don’t say it, believe a Barcelona legend like he is Hristo stoichkov, who in his role as an analyst on television could not contain the tears to fire Lionel Messi, who this Tuesday was announced as new PSG player, a signing that nobody imagined would happen until a few days ago.
“I’ll miss him. Wherever he goes I will always respect him for everything he has done for Barcelona, for the people, we have had the pleasure of having him there … It is difficult, “he said. visibly excited the historical Bulgarian in a broadcast of TUDN.
And is that the Messi goodbye shook all of Barcelona and his followers around the world, leaving a void not only sporting and emotional, but also economic because it is calculated that the team loses in brand value around 130 million euros, in addition to the difficulties that can be caused by attracting more sponsors, without which many classify the best footballer in history.
Stoichkov already saw a ‘fatal end’ with Messi
This denouement seemed to be cooking from the 2020, when publicly Leo asked to leave Barcelona through the remembered burofax, but the then president of the club, Josep María Bartomeu, denied him what he had supposedly promised her by word of mouth.
It was exactly one year ago that Hristo Stoichkov spoke on the matter, strongly criticizing the directive because they were “kicking his ass” to the greatest legend in the history of the Blaugranas.
“We are erasing a myth, we are giving a kick in the ass to the greatest player in the history of Barcelona. We are staining his name, his charisma, I am a partner, that’s why I say that we are staining him, “Stoichkov said in TUDN in August 2020.
“I don’t know why always the players who have made history in Barcelona throw us out the back doorThey will think that we are in the way because we want to steal the presidency from them or something like that, I don’t know what happens to them. “
