FC Barcelona is part of the past for Lionel Messi and his family. At least this is how his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, understands, who made a drastic decision after La Pulga became PSG’s reinforcement.

The 33-year-old Rosario said goodbye on social networks with an emotional publication. “A wonderful stage is closing but a new chapter full of opportunities opens! All changes are difficult at first but together we will continue to write our history. We love you Leo Messi and with you in all of them ”, he published on his account Instagram, along with emojis of hearts, strength and enchanted the PSG account.

But nevertheless it was not the only intervention on the social network that is followed by more than 16.7 million users. Antonela stopped following the official account of the Barça team (@FC Barcelona), and he did like that of Paris Saint-Germain.

Several European media took this gesture as a Roccuzzo end point to the relationship that the Messi family maintained with the culé cast and that lasted for almost 20 years. Apparently Anto does not forgive the treatment they received in the last time on behalf of the team led by Joan Laporta, who remained in the center of the scene for not having been able to achieve continuity as the greatest idol in the history of his institution and who was awarded by many to have used the image of the Argentine to win the elections.

The logical complications from the transfer to another country, with school changes for their three children Thiago (8), Mateo (5) and Ciro (3), the moving and loss of affection that they have in Catalonia, were decisive for him to take an abrupt position from now on with the cast where Messi achieved 35 titles in 17 years.

“All the changes are difficult at the beginning but together we will continue to write our history. We love you Leo Messi and with you in all ”, it had been Anto’s first message as soon as he left the city of Barcelona.

Roccuzzo was not the only one who showed her anger and questioned the real intentions of renewal on the part of Barcelona. In its emotional farewell conference, Lionel Messi warned that on his part did everything to try to achieve renewal, but that he could not assure the same from the club. While George, his father and representative, threw a dart moments before his flight to Paris: “Ask the club what happened.”

On the day of his presentation, Lionel Messi said he felt happy for the new stage that he will face in his career, although he also acknowledged that these days have been very hard for him and his family. In that sense, he highlighted the support of his wife.

“Antonela accompanies me wherever, she banked me and supported me, we are prepared for whatever arises. It is a moment of happiness for my family and for me, after difficult days, because of how hard I lived in Barcelona. It was something ugly, strange, I could not overcome the above yet, but I do move forward, I look forward, in a new stage that I assume with great enthusiasm “, confessed La Pulga in dialogue with ESPN in Paris.

“Tomorrow I start training and my family will return to Barcelona to finish accommodating everything, I do not know when I will start to play, I have to get well physically and then I will start,” Messi closed on a historic day for his footballing and personal life.
