Monaco midfielder, Cesc Fabregas, has shared a touching story of his first encounter with Lionel Messi, as he paid tribute to the departing Barcelona
DAILY POST reports that Barcelona confirmed on Thursday that Messi would leave Camp Nou as a free agent.
Reacting, Fabregas, who came up with Messi at La Masia [Barcelona academy], took the opportunity to say farewell to his former teammate.“I’ll always remember the day you came to the dressing room at 13 years old and we were told an Argentine kid had come to try out,” Cesc wrote in a series of messages on his Twitter page on Saturday.
“In the end it came true and just for the fact that I felt like I did playing at false 9 alongside you and seeing the connection we had, that made it all worth it. You leave as the best player of all time. Barca will never be the same without you,” he said.“Thank you for everything you have given and everything that you are, because behind that competitive animal there is a spectacular, humble, kind and generous person.
