Ivan Rakitic said goodbye to Barcelona in a press conference. The Croatian analysed his time at the club and briefly touched on Leo Messi's situation: "My departure has gone well. I haven't thought about Messi's."
Barcelona said goodbye to a footballer who has been key in recent years. Rakitic said goodbye to the Catalan capital, the club and even to president Bartomeu for helping him leave for Sevilla.
Rakitic was asked about Messi's situation and his possible departure, but he admitted that he did not anything apart from his departure. "Every player makes his own analysis and takes his own decisions. I've seen that it's my time. I don't know what he or others will do. My departure has gone well. I haven't thought about Messi's, I've thought about my situation," he continued.
He left a nice message for the club and the fans: "I want to thank you for the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone. For six years it's been my home. We've felt spectacular, at home. The whole city and the people made us welcome. I gave it my all on the field of play. There was no lack of effort or commitment."
