Debate on Messi and FC Barcelona
Uh, I think there's something that maybe
from Madrid you don't realize, but
in Barcelona, uh, we're all for Messi because he's the greatest in
history,
but above all, we're Barça fans.
And these elections proved it.
All the candidates had a photo of Messi.
Messi didn't support anyone, J, okay?
And the one who didn't use a single photo of Messi won because he talked about Barça. And he won by a landslide.
The, the most-voted president in history.
Mati, don't deny it, because they all had a photo of Messi.
Messi didn't support anyone, J. No, it's just, it's just that he's saying it as if
Messi had played for one of them.
Almost all of them used him.
No, but he didn't deny supporting anyone. He didn't authorize anyone.
He didn't deny supporting anyone.
I'm done.
But he didn't authorize anyone, he didn't take sides.
I'm done.
But they put up a Messi banner.
A banner was of Messi.
And he didn't say anything about him.
Yes, of course.
And Messi went—
Into exile.
At night to take the photo when he had been offered it on countless occasions,
on countless occasions, to go to the stadium with the
president, with the board, and he always said no,
and he went at night.
He—he's within his rights, I mean, no, no, it's no big deal.
But don't tell me that, I mean, Barça won, Messi didn't.
Okay? And here we're more for Barça than Messi.
And this doesn't mean that, that, that we're all for the best player in
history,
which is Messi. We adore him. We adore him, who, by the way, is from La Masía, and maybe
he wouldn't have done so well if it weren't for La Masía and Barça.
And when in Argentina, where you're all crying now,
in Argentina, you used to criticize him,
We defended Barça, because now you've all jumped on
the Messi bandwagon.
But we've supported Messi for 25 years, you for ten.
No, no, no, no, no, I won't allow that.
So now you're all crying a lot.
No, I won't allow that, J. No, no, no, no, I won't allow it.
No, J, no, I won't allow it in any way.
No, no,
no. No, no, no, you're wrong. You're completely wrong, J. No, no,
no.
You're completely wrong. You, you latched onto— you latched onto two,
three
remarks from, from some people. Some who, yes, were serial haters
and wanted Messi to do badly, but most
Argentinians have always supported Messi.
Those of us who went to the World Cups, those of us who trusted him,
those of us who were always there.
No, no, no, I won't allow that. I won't allow it.
The photo of the door holding up the mannequin wearing the T-shirt.
That one doesn't come back.
It'll haunt you for the rest of your life.

Eeeh, yo creo que hay una cosa que a lo mejor desde Madrid no os dais cuenta, pero en Barcelona, eeeh, somos todos de Messi porque es el mejor de la historia, pero por encima somos del Barça.
Eh, y estas elecciones quedó demostrado. Todos los candidatos iban con la foto de Messi. Messi no apoyó a nadie, J, ¿eh? Y ganó el que no sacó ni una foto de Messi porque hablaba del Barça. Y arrasó. El, el presidente más votado de la historia.
Mati, no digas que no, porque todos iban con la foto de Messi. Messi no apoyó a nadie, J. No, es que, es que está, es que está diciendo como si Messi hubiera jugado para uno. Lo utilizaron, casi todos. No, pero no desmintió a nadie. No autorizó a nadie.
No desmintió a nadie. Acabo. Pero no autorizó a nadie, no jugó. Acabo. Pero se pusieron una lona de Messi.
Una lona fue de Messi. Y no dijo nada de él. Sí, claro. Y Messi se fue- La exilia.
De noche a hacerse la foto cuando se le había ofrecido en muchísimas ocasiones, en muchísimas ocasiones, acudir al estadio junto con el presidente, junto con la directiva, y él siempre decía que no, y acudió de noche. Es-está en su, en su de esto, o sea, no, no, no pasa nada.
Pero, pero no me digas que, o sea, ganó el Barça, no ganó Messi. ¿Vale? Y aquí somos más del Barça que de Messi. Y esto no quiere decir que, que, que somos todos del mejor jugador de la historia, que es Messi. Lo adoramos. Lo adoramos, que por cierto, es de La Masía, que a lo
mejor no le hubiera ido tan bien si no fuera por La Masía y el Barça. Y cuando en Argentina, que ahora lloráis todos, en Argentina le pegabais palos, en el Barça lo defendíamos, porque ahora os habéis sumado todos a Messi.
Pero es que nosotros somos de Messi hace veinticinco, vosotros hace diez. No, no, no, no, no, no te permito. Así que ahora lloráis mucho. No, no te permito, J. No, no, no, no, no te lo permito. No, J, no, no te lo permito de ninguna manera.
No, no, no. No, no, no, estás equivocado. Estás totalmente equivocado, J. No, no, no. Estás totalmente equivocado. Te, te quedaste con la-- te quedaste con dos, tres
frases de, de algunos. Algunos que sí, que fueron odiadores seriales y que querían que a Messi le vaya mal, pero la mayoría de los argentinos siempre apoyamos a Messi. Los que íbamos a los mundiales, los que confiamos en él, los que estuvimos siempre.
No, no, no, no te lo permito. No te lo permito. La foto de la puerta apoyando al maniquí con la camiseta. Esa no se vuelve. Te va a perseguir toda la vida.
