WHEN LIONEL MESSI SHOWED A GESTURE TO FABIAN VERGAS.

 The year was 2010 and Barcelona were playing Almeria , in the Spanish La Liga match.
So before the match the Colombian footballer Fabian Vergas , who was playing for Almeria .
 He then requested Lionel Messi to give him his Barcelona jersey after the match.
 The reason Fabian Vergas  wanted the jersey was to auction it for big money, a that year Colombia  was facing very bad floods and people suffered.
But Lionel Messi said nothing after the match  even.
 While  Fabian Vergas was in the visitors  dressing room, he was informed that Lionel Messi wanted to see him, he had a bag in the hand which he gave Fabian Vergas.
 But Fabian Vergas thought it would be only Lionel Messi's jersey in the bag.
 But when Fabian  Vergas opened the bag he was in for a very big surprise the bag not only had the jersey of Lionel Messi, but there were quite a few jerseys of Xavi Hernandez, Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta,, Dani Aleve's, Gerrard Pique and Victor Valdez.
 There was a note that said sorry I could get only these jerseys for you.

BARCELONA TERMINATE THE CONTRACT OF SERGIO SAMPER.

According to THE DAILY MAIL, the Spanish giants have now gone and terminated the contract of their 24, twenty four year old footballer, who was captain of the Barcelona, B team, and also played for Barcelona main team in the LA Liga. Just to inform you all he joined Barcelona and the La Massia as a six year old boy, and played for Barcelona for eighteen long years, but very sadly he was often injured, and was given out on loan several times as well, he was a bright prospect and Arsene Wenger wanted to buy this holding midfielder once, but it never did work out. But he won a Champion League , a La Liga , a Copa Del Rey a Super club cup and a Spanish super cup. Not bad for a often injured player I must say. Now that his contract has been terminated he will be joining the Japanese club Kobe. But he will be playing with fellow Spaniards David Villa, Andres Iniesta and the German Lukas Potloski. Barcelona have a clause in their contract preventing their famous players from joining any elite club in Europe, Even Xavi Hernandez is playing for a club in Qatar.

IT WAS LIONEL MESSI WHO HELPED NEYMAR TO SETTLE AT BARCELONA.

Neymar has admitted and is all praise for Lionel Messi, who was entirely responsible for letting the Brazilian footballer Neymar to settle down soon at Barcelona. When Neymar joined Barcelona from the Brazilian club Santos, at the early age of 21 years only. Everything did not go to plan for Neymar , as he was not getting his best football on the pitch for his new club Barcelona. One day Lionel Messi saw Neymar crying like a small baby , in the dressing room. Lionel Messi lovingly took the hand of Neymar and told him to get himself together he should be strong and play his natural game , just as he played his game at Santos. Neymar was very grateful for the support shown by such a great footballer like Lionel Messi, for a 21 year old new boy at the big club. Lionel Messi is quite aware that when he joined the LA MASSIA , THE CASTLE , the youth academy of Barcelona, from Rosario in Argentina , he too would sit in a corner and hardly ever speak during his first year in Spain with Barcelona But then it was the regular visits to the LA Massia by Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez , who were by then playing for Barcelona who showed the youngster Lionel Messi needed at that time

WHEN MANCHESTER CITY WANTED TO BUY LIONEL MESSI FOR SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR MILLION POUNDS.

Now according to THE SUN, which has said that Manchester City had made contact with Lionel Messi's agent his father Jorge Messi, from December 2016 to November 2017. Manchester City then offered to pay the buy out clause of Lionel Messi , that then stood at 220, two hundred and twenty million pounds, they were also ready to pay the five year salary which would also total to 220, two hundred and twenty million pounds. And when the tax amount would be then added it would reach a massive amount of 664, six hundred and sixty four million pounds. But this never did work out though, and Pep Guardiola has contradicted this story by saying he has never ever contacted Barcelona or Lionel Messi for a transfer to Manchester City. But then Lionel Messi has now gone and signed up a new contract with Barcelona, and he will be with Barcelona till the year 2021. He has a very huge buy out clause of 660 six hundred and sixty million pounds. And what many may not know is that Barcelona put a clause on the last contract of their famous footballers, saying that after their Barcelona playing days are overthey can not join any elite club in Europe, and that is why Xavi Hernandez is playing in Qatar and Andres Iniesta is playing in Japan.

LIONEL MESSI COULD LEAVE BARCELONA ON A FREE TRANSFER.

The famous Argentinean and Barcelona striker Lionel Messi , could very well leave Barcelona in the year 2021, now that will be when his contract with Barcelona comes to a end and he will also be 34, thirty four years old by then. Now according to his latest contract signed between Lionel Messi and the Spanish giants Barcelona, which has a vey special clause added on. The clause says that if and when Lionel Messi leaves Barcelona in the year 2021, e can leave Barcelona on a free transfer but he can not sign up for any elite club in the world. This means like his fellow team mates Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, ad the same clause added to their last contract at Barcelona, and that is why Xavi Hernandez is playing for a club in Qatar and Andres Iniesta is playing for a club in Japan, and they do not play for big clubs in Europe. So Manchester City can very well forget of ever signing Lionel Messi.

LIONEL MESSI BREAKS ANOTHER RECORD FOR BARCELONA..

The little Argentinean wizard has now gone on to become rightfully the most decorated footballer ever to play for the Spanish giants Barcelona. After Barcelona defeated Seville in the seasons opening match and opening of the curtains , for the new season. The Spanish Super Cup. Now Lionel Messi won his trophy number 33 thirty three for Barcelona, since he made his debut for Barcelona , under Franck Raijkard in the year 2004. The other Barcelona player to win the most trophies till then was Andres Iniesta, who had won 32, thirty two trophies for Barcelona, but now he is playing for a club in Japan.

THE TWO SPANISH GIANTS LOST TWO VERY GOOD PLAYERS AT THE SAME TIME.

It was indeed a very sad day for the Spanish LA LIGA , and for football as a whole. The two Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona each lost a famous and very highly talented footballers, who could win a match single handed , they could take the game by the scurf of the neck and turn the game in their favour only. Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Andres Iniesta both left the Spanish La Liga , Andres Iniesta left Barcelona went to Japan and Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid and joined up with the Italian giants Juventus. But one thing is certain over here THE EL CLASSICO , THE CLASSIC will never ever be the same again after the departure of these two giants of Football. After all these footballers were icons and Legends in their own lifetime , and these stars were born to be footballers and one thing is very crystal here they can not be copied and followed . It was a sad day for football and their million of fans around the world.

BARCELONA FINALy SIGN ARHUR MELO FROM GREMIO.

The Spanish giants have now gone and finally signed up the Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo from the Brazilian club Gremio, the same club Ronaldinho played for. Now he has been signed by Barcelona for a sum of 27.5, twenty seven and a half million pounds, and he will also have a buy out clause as it is compulsory to have a buy out clause in Spain according to the employment law. Now Arthur's deal was done a few months back but he was given back to Gremio till the end of the season. Now tat Paulinho has gone and left Barcelona to join his old club in China, and also the leaving of the old guard Andres Iniesta, makes place for Arthur now. Arthur has now signed a six year deal with Barcelona, and he will be costing actually 31, thirty one million pounds ,as he will join up for 27.5 million pounds but he will also get 8, eight million pounds as a bonus.

CHELSEA HAVE REJECTED A BID FOR THE BRAZILIAN WILLIAN FRO BARCELONA.

The Spanish giants Barcelona had made a bid for the Brazilian playmaker Willian , who plays his club football in England with Chelsea, they had offered Chelsea a sum of 50, fifty million pounds. But Chelsea have now gone and flatly rejected that offer, they are now waiting to see if Manchester United will now come forward to make a far better offer. Barcelona wanted to strengthen their midfield after the departure of Andres Iniesta, at the end of the season. Mainly because Barcelona were defeated by A.S. Roma in the champion league, now Barcelona have gone and brought the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho from Liverpol. But they feel tat if they buy Willian who is now nearing 30, thirty yeas will give Barcelona more balance and debt on the pitch. It is also reported in THE MEDIA, that Manchester United are getting a bid for Willian with a price of 60, sixty million pounds.

WHO WILL NOW BE THE HEIR FOR THE GREAT ANDRES INIESTA AT BARCELONA..

Please get one thing very , very clear here it is next to Impossible to replace these great masters of the midfield I must say. Players like Andres Iniesta, and Xavi Hernandez , are real good players and you just can not copy them with a intention of being the next Xavi Hernandez or the next Andres Iniesta. But in the last match of Andres Iniesta for mighty Barcelona.as Barcelona won their last match of the season with a goal scored by the Brazilian play maker Philippe Coutinho., with a score of 1-0 win for Barcelona, but what Andres Iniesta did after Philippe Coutinho scored the goal spoke volumes, Andres Iniesta applauded the goal, and walked to embrace Philippe Coutinho., who will be his heir. No wonder Barcelona were working very hard to buy the Brazilian play maker from Liverpool. Liverpool resisted very stubbornly from selling in the summer, but they were forced to sell Philippe Coutinho in the January transfer window for a huge sum of 145, one hundred and forty five million pounds, and the media said that Philippe Coutinho paid ten million pounds from his own pocket. After all Andres Iniesta was not getting younger any way. By the way Andres Iniesta is a rich man as his grand father set up the vineyard and wine industry in Valencia, called Iniesta wines.

ANDRES INIESTA FINALLY LEAVES BARCELONA AFTER TWENTY TWO YEARS AT BARCELONA.

The famous Spanish and Barcelona midfielder who played twenty two long years at Barcelona, played his last game for Barcelona, now at the age of 34,thirty four years, he has decided to leave Barcelona. Both Barcelona and Real sociedad gave him a well deserved guard of honour before the match. Andres Iniesta joined the youth academy of Barcelona called THE LA MASIA , or THE CASTLE. He was a year or so junior to Xavi Hernandez, and this two pass masters kept the world staring at their foot work understanding and dribbling. These two were so good and pleasing to the eye, for example out of 120 one hundred and twenty passes made in a match by each of them 80, eighty of them would land right in the front foot of their team mate, for years Lionel Messi , Ronaldinho , Luis Suarez and Neymar scored a lot of goals, but in reality it was Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez in the midfield that kept Barcelona ticking away in each match. After the match Andres Iniesta was thrown up in the air, and he lifted THE LA LIGA Cup , for the very last time. He and his family also did a lap of honour for the club and fans. But one thing here is crystal clear oh so very sadly clubs do no longer produce such stars any more , yes one thing is clear here they can not be imitated and copied , as these great icons come once in a lifetime only. After the match and the ground fell silent and the 99,000 seats were empty a lonely figure of Andres Iniesta sitting on the ground and pondering those twenty two years was very ,very touching. in case you are not aware Andres Iniesta has big wine industry in Valencia ,Spain. It was started by his grand father. and it is called the INIESTA WINES. He is also a very clean footballer I think he is the only footballer who is not having a single tattoo on him , and he never wears earrings. He was given a very good send of and not at all like the other Spanish giants Real Madrid. They booed and made Iker Casillas cry on his final game at Real Madrid. But what these fans forget is Real Madrid gave a lot to Real Madrid, he played in Real Madrid's champion league match as a nineteen year old boy, and that is before he even had his driving licence. He was studying in the school in the night and was told to leave the class as their goalkeeper for the champion league was seriously injured, and he was needed to be back up goalkeeper. Just compare these two Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid will you.

HOW DID ARSENE WENGER BRING CESC FABREGAS TO ARSENAL iN 2003.?

Arsene wenger has always been known to have a very sharp eye in finding out new young talent, and give them a real chance to grow in the world of football. One youngster he was very keen to sign up for Arsenal was the Spaniard Cesc Fabregas who is a graduate of the Barcelona youth academy LA MASIA, or THE CASTLE. Arsene Wenger was very keen to buy him, but Barcelona, knew Arsene wenger would only come on a scouting mission to Barcelona, so he was very strictly told not to come to The Nou Camp Barcelona. So in the year 2003 Cesc Fabregas was chosen to represent Spain , at the under 17, world cup to be held In Finland, so Arsene Wenger flew down to Helsinki in Finland to just watch Cesc Fabregas play live. Spain won the Under 17 world cup, and Cesc Fabregas won the golden boot as well as the man of the tournament. Arsene wenger promised Cesc Fabregas good amount of playing time. In fact Arsenal had lost a few midfielders like Patrick Vieira, Edu and Gilberto DaSilva as well. So who has to go to Sunny Spain to see a Barcelona footballer play.? Cesc Fabregas was afraid that his playing time at Barcelona would be cut out , with Xavi and Andres Iniesta there.

BARCELONA WORE JERSEY WITH THE NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND MOTHERS NAME AT THE BACK.

Mother's day was celebrated on last Sunday, and Barcelona did it really well I must say and it speaks volumes of this club compared to Real Madrid. Before the match played between Barcelona and Villarreal , also called TE YELLOW SUBMARINES. After the Beatles number Yellow Submarine. Villarreal are so called because their first colours are yellow jerseys, yellow shorts and yellow stockings. As Real Madrid failed to give Barcelona a guard of honour for winning the Spanish La Liga, But Villarreal gave Barcelona that honour with a guard of honour. But Barcelona players entered the pitch wearing their numbers on their jerseys , but instead of having the players name o their backs they had the mothers name on the back of the jersey, but please note for the match with Villarreal , Barcelona players wore their jerseys with their own number and names. In case it is not known, this F.I.F.A rule came out in the year 1988 EURO CUP. That players should have their names as well as numbers on their jerseys. Villarreal also gave Andres Iniesta a miniature Yellow submarine ,it was costing just 39 thirty nine pounds, but the thought counts here more then the price. Real Madrid are just a spoilt rich club that is all.

ANDRES INIESTA TO JOIN VISSEL KOBE..

The famous Spanish midfielder Andres Iniesta who is a product of the famous Barcelona youth Academy called THE LA MASSIA,, and he had spent a total of 22 twenty two years at Barcelona. But no he wanted to play the last few years abroad and not in Spain. He was supposed to have joined up with club in China, but that just did not work out for some reason or the other. So he has now decided to move to Japan and play in the J LEAGUE, he will now join a Japanese club called Vissel Kobe . He will be getting a yearly salary of 25, twenty five million Euros or 22, twenty two million pounds a year. The contract was signed for three years deal , and that will mean Andres Iniesta will get 66, sixty six million pounds for those three years. The German world cup winner and Arsenal striker Lukas Podloski is playing for this club Vissel Kobe.

WHEN BARCELONA AND REAL MADRID WENT THROUGH A OPEN BUS PARADE.

this year Barcelona won both the Spanish La liga as well as the Kings cup, or the COPA DEL REY CUP. Barcelona took the ride in a open bus through the city of Barcelona, thousands and thousands of fans lined the streets to get a glimpse of their hero's. They took photograph of the main players, he team players the staff and even the very youngsters of the club, were all felt very important not a single player or staff were ignored. At the same time last year Real Madrid won the Spanish La Liga , as well as the champion league trophy. They too had a open air bus ride through the city of Madrid. But there was one big difference here. The Real Madrid team as well as Cristiano Ronaldo demanded that his the BALLOON d"OR trophy should be on the open bus for the ride in the city of Madrid. Please note here this was a club showing the trophy they won during the season, and it was nota bus to show individual trophies , but Cristiano Ronaldo and his very big ego got the better of him. At Barcelona Andres Iniesta with tears in his eyes took photographs with each and every Barcelona player and staff, that just shows Barcelona are a team on and of the pitch.

ANDRES INIESTA WILL BE PLAYING IN CHINA NEXT YEAR.

The Spain and Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has made it very clear that he would now be moving to a club in China. A few eyes were raised when they heard the news. Andres Iniesta has now gone and made it amply clear that he would be playing in China only and he would not be playing for any club in Europe. The reason being he never wanted to play against his old club Barcelona in the Champion League or for the matter in the EUROPA LEAGUE, also called the U.E.F.A cup . Both Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez were world cup and two EURO CUP winners as well. And were masters where passing and control of the ball was concerned. Sadly they do not produce such footballers these days. His loyalty for Barcelona is clearly seen here, when loyalty has taken a back seat. Andres Iniesta had joined the Barcelona youth academy called THE LA MASIA or THE CASTLE as a 12 twelve year old boy Ad Andres Iniesta has a wine business set up by his grand father, called INIESTA WINES.
