#when i say scaloneta before everything else i really do mean it. watching messi having to carry the club in his last few years

[meowmeowmessi]

i don't think i can explain with words how much messi getting kicked out of barça affected my view of football as a whole. before that i didn't really look into transfer rumors and things like that much, i just wasn't interested, and when messi's contract renewal issue rolled around i just expected that it would go without a hitch bc messi is barça, barça is messi, what other conclusion are we supposed to draw? but then the unthinkable happened. seeing messi's tears in that shittily put together press conference made me feel as though i'd awoken from a dream. it made me stop seeing barça as this club where dreams come true or whatever and see it for what it really is: just another institution founded on money and shady politics that was willing to throw away a man who had dedicated almost a decade of his career to them without mercy. i didn't watch a single barça game after messi left. i couldn't be bothered to. club football lost its charm then and there. the truth is there's still a lot of resentment in my heart for the way barça let go of messi. i know messi will always love barça, it's one of his two loves besides argentina, but i just can't. it will never be the same

#when i say scaloneta before everything else i really do mean it. watching messi having to carry the club in his last few years #there was harrowing to say the least. completely in contrast la scaloneta who are willing to put their life on the line for him #like. this is what he needed and deserved. after so many years of pain and ridicule and hardships #like i said once messi retires im not watching any club football. it's all argentina nt from there #sorry this is pretty haphazard and messily put together im typing this in a cab rn but i just needed to get this out #barça is like a shiny apple but the inside's rotten to the core. messi being forced out woke me up to this fact basically
