Messi agreed to a new deal with Barcelona three weeks ago, but it was confirmed on Thursday night that he would not be staying.
Additionally, Barcelona supporters were left with eerie visuals of their cherished icon breaking down in tears during his farewell press conference on Sunday.
Still, it was lovely to see Messi’s old Barcelona teammate Suarez show up in Barcelona on Sunday. Not every farewell has to be a tearful one.
Pictures of the Messi and Suarez family getting together at Messi’s house surfaced on Instagram.
Before Messi departs for wherever he is heading next, which is probably Paris, Suarez traveled to Barcelona to bid his close pal farewell.
During their stay at Camp Nou, Messi and Suarez developed a strong bond, as did their families.
As the two families exchanged a photo and, probably, a few toasts to all the happy memories in Catalonia, there were smiles all around.
