A large crowd of fans outside FC Barcelona’s Camp Nou stadium on Tuesday night were heard chanting “We love you, Messi stay, Messi stay!” and “Bartomeu resign!”
An 80-year-old Joana Polo, wearing an FC Barcelona face mask, on Wednesday outside Camp Nou told Reuters: “I am very upset, for me Barca is Messi and Messi is Barca. They are the same, he is the symbol of Barca.
“They should erect a monument in Camp Nou for him. I do not think Messi’s departure should be allowed to happen.”
Barcelona President, Josep Bartomeu had assured fans that Messi would stay at the Camp Nou next season, following the 8-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-final.
However, Messi wants Barca to terminate his contract, so he can join a new club.
Another fan at Camp Nou said, “You can take defeats in sports but I can’t handle Messi leaving,” Oriol, 40 told Reuters.
