You Can't Look More Pathetic Than FC Barcelona, Who Released A Statement Crying About Messi Picking Inter Miami Over Them

[Source] - President Laporta understood and respected Messi's decision to want to compete in a league with fewer demands, further away from the spotlight and the pressure he has been subject to in recent years.

Ohh boo hoo. This is legit one of the saddest looks I can remember in a long, long time. Messi doesn't play for Barcelona, he's not leaving Barcelona for Inter Miami. Sure, you're in the mix for him to come back to play for the club, but why are you putting out a statement after losing out on him? It's a bizarre look, it's a sad look. 

And no pressure and spotlight? Uh, hey Barcelona dorks, welcome to America. Messi is here to help move soccer into a different world here. That's more pressure than just going back to Barcelona where he won everything and anything. He has to travel to cities like Columbus, Foxborough, Harrison, Chester, Commerce City, Carson and Sandy. You don't think that's spotlight and pressure? You don't just walk into Sandy, Utah without the feeling of pressure. 

Messi was pretty open about his reason why: 

Pretty clear that he didn't 1) want to take Saudi money, 2) his family reportedly had no desire to live there and 3) there's still something weird going on with him and Barcelona. So bingo, bango he comes to the MLS and gets this contract with profit sharing from Apple TV and Adidas. 

I don't have anything against Barcelona. Never really cared about them vs Real Madrid in terms of picking a side. But this is a sad look. You're Barcelona! You can't be out here crying about Messi leaving PSG for Inter Miami.
