My heart is refusing to believe that this is over. That this is the absolute last time he’s representing this country. Ever. Messi was the reason behind it all. Messi’s the one who introduced me to this magical world of football, to the club that became my home, my safe place and smt I love like nobody else can, to a country i dont even belong to yet somehow it belongs within me. Messi has been a huge part of my life since childhood til this very moment, and I cant really remember a stage in my life without a memory of him in it, Ive watched him losing, Ive watched him trying, Ive watched him coming back stronger again and again, every single time, and i’ve watched him winning and getting what he deserves. now that i am realizing i appreciate this more than ive thought i would. ive always known that THIS day would come, yet ive never braced myself, i couldnt. I can’t imagine a world of football without him, the one who was, is, will forever be my everything in this world. something will forever feel missing and empty without him. Now that i’m thinking of it, it’s a blessing that i got to grow up in a time when messi existed and played, and ive got to watch it from the start to the very end. And God knows that one day i’ll tell someone that YES i’ve watched messi play, I’ve witnessed it, cheered for him to the very last moment, proudly and lovingly, but they probably won’t understand how much that means to me, cuz they wont understand who messi really is to us, his loyal, geniune supporters. I’m lost for words, really, nothing feels enough to express this bittersweet moment. Every moment spent with him is easily one of my best moments. And I dont think that i’ll admire, love and cherish anyone the way i admire, love and cherish Messi. “اشكر الظروف التي جعلت منك لاعب يا ميسي❤️”.
