The football world on Messi leaving Barcelona

Leo’s departure obviously could not leave all the players and coaches indifferent, as well as fans and pundits around the globe. The entire football family couldn't ignore that shocking news indeed. And the Argentinian, of course, fully deserves that attention and even more.
