#3 Lionel Messi voting for the new president
It was a year of controversies for Barcelona. First Messi wanted to leave, next the president resigned, it seemed like the club was falling apart. However, things were soon back in order and it was announced that a new president would soon be elected. Messi, a player who had publicly stated that he wanted to leave the club, would normally not vote for such an election as the outcome would be futile to him.
However, to many’s surprise, the Catalan captain voted in the elections. This showed us that Messi cares about the future of the club even if he decides that it is his time to move on. Barcelona has always been the legend’s home and he wants the club to thrive even after he retires.
As of now, Messi is still set to leave as a free agent on the 1st of July, however, according to latest reports, the star is ready to accept a big wage cut in order to extend his contract. It seems like Joan Laporta might persuade the legend after all and it goes on to show that Messi loves the club even though the former president made him go through a lot of trouble.
