What seemed impossible months ago seems like a reality right now, as Lionel Messi has reportedly told FC Barcelona that he doesn’t want to extend his stay with the team and is going to join another club before the start of the season. Obviously, almost every single soul on the internet had a lot to say about it and the ground was laid forsome of the funniest memes we’ve seen all year.
Soccer fans from all over the world still can’t believe that Messi is set to leave the club he’s been with since he was 13 years old. He became the biggest icon and idol in Barcelona history and his desire to leave is shocking, to say the least.
New coach Ronald Koeman is also reportedly trying to find a replacement for aging striker Luis Suárez, so we’re most likely on the verge of the dawn of a new era at Camp Nou. Whether Barcelona can compete at the highest level without one of the greatest players to ever lace them up is yet to be seen.
And considering how many fans and detractors FC Barcelona has across all cities on earth, it was pretty safe to expect that memes, reactions, videos, and tributes were going to take over the internet in the blink of an eye in the aftermath of this announcement.
Messi is one of the most beloved, feared, and respected athletes in the history of sports but like all public figures, he’s not short of detractors either. Here, we’ll share the funniest memes and reactions about his decision to leave Barcelona
