Lionel Messi regrets not saying goodbye to Barcelona fans at Camp Nou.
"It was tough. I didn't go back to Barcelona, which I've already explained, because I didn't want to go through all that again. It was a very unpleasant situation. We came in anticipation of the new season, the upcoming training sessions, and the start of the children's school classes.
When everything was ready to be signed overnight, it became impossible, and I was told I had to leave the club. I had to rush, make a hasty decision and go through what I went through.
Everything was great for me in "Barcelona." Since I left strangely, I want to say goodbye to Busquets, Jordi, Javi, Iniesta... I want to go like that. The opportunity to say goodbye to the fans would be fantastic. There was an epidemic, and people were not allowed to enter the stadium, but I would like to know that everything is OK with the fans. So I would be thrilled to hear my name again at Camp Nou, although I know that love is eternal and mutual.
I'm a little sorry that I couldn't say goodbye as I would have liked and as I think I deserved. Because the players I mentioned also deserved it, they did. I want to leave like that. On the other hand, it was chaos. I was made the "bad guy" in the movie, and I didn't like that either because it wasn't like that. So I'd like to say goodbye to the people we've lived with, enjoyed, and gotten through so much. We have spent many years together, and I would like to say goodbye correctly," said the Argentine forward.
