Lionel Messi responds to C. Ronaldo’s call for him to leave Barcelona and take up other challenges

Lionel Messi has responded to bait thrown at him by his decade long rival, Cristiano Ronaldo who told him to leave Barcelona and take up challenges from another football space.

Messi made it clear that he has no intention to leave the Spanish La Liga or the Spanish Champions, Barcelona.

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi who has won five Ballon d’Or awards at the Nou Camp same as his greatest rival Cristiano Ronaldo said, “I never felt the need to leave the best club in the world which is Barcelona. Here I enjoy training, matches and the city.

“The dynamic between the club and the city is very complete, and I always felt confident in the club’s goals, without needing to look elsewhere,” Messi told World Soccer.

Lionel Messi had also made a striking confession after revealing he does not want a life contract at Camp Nou despite his desire to remain at Barcelona. The 32-year-old’s future at the club remains uncertain when club President Josep Bartomeu revealed that their captain has a clause in his contract which enables him to leave at the end of the season.
