In the morning sunshine of Beijing, the news of April 21st exploded like spring thunder - according to the disclosure of Spain's Channel 6, soccer superstar Lionel Messi is about to renew his legend with Barcelona, and a new two-year contract will witness his loyalty. Although the exact terms of the contract are still a mystery, there is no doubt that Messi will offer more for the glory of Barcelona, even if his income will be reduced, the club will make up for this sacrifice in other ways. Messi's decision to stay at Barcelona is undoubtedly a strong rebuff to the many speculations and rumors! Last summer, many media outlets were convinced that Messi was bound to leave the club, and both Manchester City and Paris were potential destinations for him. However, Messi not only stayed in Barcelona, the club also gradually recovered the past glory!

Despite Barcelona's struggles last season, which saw all four major honors go down the drain, the team was able to turn the tide in time. Messi didn't really want to leave, but he was frustrated with the state of Barcelona at the time. He used the rumors of his departure many times to push for a change. Now, Barcelona has done just that, firstly by dealing with the old guard, and although Suarez's departure hurt Messi, it also saved the club a lot of money. Vidal followed suit. Then, Barcelona began to bring in newcomers, with the veterans gradually being replaced by younger players this season. Pedri and Araujo joined for a total of just 7 million euros and have now become the core of the team's midfield and defense.

Not only that, but Barcelona also managed to bring in Garcia, a player from the youth academy who had been a target of the team last summer. As Garcia's contract was about to expire, Barcelona chose to contact his agent in advance with a view to joining him on a free at the end of his contract. Barcelona have also brought in Liverpool's Wijnaldum and are in discussions with Depay over his transfer. If all of these players were to join, there would be no need for Messi to leave, as Barcelona are already on the road to revival. Of course, Messi has always been the absolute core of Barcelona, which is an undeniable fact.

This piece of news has equally disgraced many media outlets. Last summer, they predicted that Messi would leave Barcelona, but the truth is that Messi not only did not leave, Barcelona also ushered in a new life.
