All the luck of the world in your new stage!", it shared the attacker of the FC Barcelona through the social networks, but this was not the only message that sent him.

It does not do fault neither clear the injustice of this comment, he is the best of the world, I, one more".

"The mine stood out much more because I come of a country that did not have a tradition of players of basketball with some success, but with Messi are speaking of one of the best players of the history, no of the world now", has explained, recognising that the '10' deserves to spare all the well that says on him.
