Former Barcelona striker and now Paris Sant-Germain forward Lionel Messi get emotional after Sergio Aguero announced his retirement from football on Wednesday. Lionel Messi took to Instagram to express his words in a farewell message for his friend Aguero who is forced to leave the sport due to a heart problem.
In his message for Aguero, Messi highlighted the way in which they have become close friends and enjoyed some good moments on the pitch, like winning the Copa America with Argentina.
“Practically a whole career together, Kun … We lived very beautiful moments and others that were not so, all of them made us unite more and more and be more friends. And we are going to continue living them together outside the field. With the great joy of lifting the America’s Cup so little ago, with all the achievements you achieved in England,” Messi wrote on Instagram.
“And the truth is that now it hurts a lot to see how you have to stop doing what you like the most because of what happened to you. Surely you will continue to be happy because you are a person who transmits happiness and those of us who love you will be with you. Now a new stage of your life begins and I am convinced that you are going to live it with a smile and with all the illusion that you put into everything,” he added.
“All the best in this new stage !!! I love you very much friend, I am going to miss a lot being with you on the field and when we get together with the National Team !!!” Messi concluded.
Aguero made the move to Barcelona last summer in the hope of playing alongside his best friend in Messi, but contractual problems led to the Blaugrana’s all-time record goalscorer departing the club for Paris Saint-Germain.
