Yes, we all know. He has the highest Ballon D’or. He is super fast. He creates chances. He scores. His impact in Barcelona is more than vivid over the years. He turned Barcelona to a stronger team. He breaks many world records. But Messi impact is more than all these. According to Barca President, he said Messi will be impossible to replace. He won his sixth Ballon D’or some days ago, and he celebrated it with a hat-trick against Real Mallorca. And the hat-trick made the 35th hat-trick he has scored in the team.
Barcelona has spent huge on some players which seem to match the quality of Messi, but none has ever performed close to him. Neymar Jr seemed like the replacement before he left the team. Most recent, Frenkie de Jong, and Griezmann were signed to bolster Barcelona squad, but Messi has still been the guy doing the most of the result. In 15 appearance this season, Messi has scored a total is of 14 goals.
Bartomeu is right because no one has ever done what Messi has done in the world of soccer and seeing someone like him will be hard.
The President said they will continue to groom young stars in the team to see if one will grow like him. He added, Barcelona game may change when he leaves the team, but for the time being, he said he will offer Messi a lifetime deal in Barcelona, and he will be the person to say enough is enough, just like a similar deal that was given to Andres Iniesta. The President also made it know that he would be happy to have Pep Guardiola back to the team. He said, he left all by himself, and the door is wide open when he wishes to come back.
