Russian club Virtus.pro found a fitting analogy to explain to esports fans how important Messi’s departure from Barcelona was.
“Messi’s departure from Barça is the same as Puppey’s departure from Team Secret. It’s all sad. “
The Ukrainian team NAVI invited Messi to wear a black and yellow jersey.
“How about moving to NAVI, Messi?”
The American organization Evil Geniuses, which recently partnered with Wolverhampton Football Club from England, demonstrated the wonders of Photoshop.

And the Russian club Team Spirit expressed the position of those for whom Messi’s departure was not a big event. However, representatives of the club still sympathized with the Barcelona fan, who told in the comments how he was upset by the departure of his favorite football player.
“Like it if you are not interested in football.”
Lionel Messi announced his departure from Barcelona on the evening of 5 August. He joined the youth team of the club in 2000, and since 2003 he began to play in the first team. For 18 years in the Catalan team, the Argentine has won six awards for the best footballer of the year.
