Footballers that think that are very talentosos like Lenglet, Dembélé, Arthur, Of Jong, Ter Stegen... A lot of players that will continue playing after the era Messi", affirmed.
Finally, the president did not doubt in surrendering to the international albiceleste and in admitting that it would like him that it remained in the Barcelona for ever. "Lionel marks differences in each party and being the best player of the world shows it in each party of each season. Messi is a man of an alone club, his path goes further of his football and his relation with the Barça will be for ever. Always I put him the example of Peeled, that was always in the Saints.
