Lionel Messi shares emotional message for departing Sergio Busquets after announcement of Barcelona exit

Sergio Busquets’ announcement that he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season has sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow players. Among those paying their respects is former Barcelona captain and longtime teammate Lionel Messi, who took to Instagram to express his appreciation for Busquets’ contributions to the club.

Messi’s message praised Busquets both as a player and as a person, saying that he was always a “10” on and off the pitch. He also wished Busquets and his family all the best in their future endeavors.

The announcement of Busquets’ departure has come as a surprise to many, given his long-standing association with the club and his status as a key player in the team. There had been speculation that his contract renewal would be tied to Messi’s potential return to the club, but it seems that Busquets has made the decision to move on regardless of that outcome.

Busquets’ departure marks the end of an era for Barcelona, and his shoes will be hard to fill. However, the club will undoubtedly be looking for a suitable replacement in the coming months, as they seek to rebuild and move forward in the post-Busquets era.
