Lionel Messi reappeared on social media after announcing that he made the decision to stay at Barcelona. The Argentine uploaded an Instagram story with an image of the interview in which he announced his decision as well as a photograph of his children.
Messi is staying at Barcelona and he decided to announce that in an interview with 'Goal'. Many were expecting him to do on social media, but he did not update his social media pages until the day after the decision.
He uploaded a couple of photos to his official Instagram account. One of them, a story, was a photo of the conversation he maintained with a 'Goal' journalist to announce he would not be leaving Barcelona. The other was one with his children.
The children were one of those most upset when their father told them he was going to leave Barca. Messi himself said that all the family were crying. Antonella, his wife, was also sad, but she supported his decision, which he later changed.
The last time made important comments on social media was in his famous war of words with Eric Abidal. The former Barca sporting director accused the player - or at least seemed to accuse the players - of a lack of commitment and the captain hit back.
