During the afternoon of this Thursday, one of the most striking news around the recognized football business was released. Lionel Messi will leave the ranks of FC Barcelona.
The Catalan club confirmed on Twitter that the Argentine player will not renew his contract and social networks made Messi a world trend.
The confirmation was known a few hours after the Spanish newspaper Marca, from Madrid, announced that the negotiations, which seemed well under way and that they were going to reach a successful conclusion, had stalled.
The captain of the Catalan club and the Argentine team ruled out, then, the possibility of renewing with the Spanish club in which he has played professionally his entire career. The player has not yet commented on the matter.
Although the forward has remained silent, the truth is that right now this conversation is the one that dominates in social networks.
At this time, according to data provided by Twitter, the “Messi” label ranks as one of the first trends with 1.77 million related tweets, followed by “Camp Nou” with 14.2 thousand tweets and “Gracias Leo” with 37.1 thousand related messages.
The figures speak of a conversation that will perhaps give a lot of play in interactions and comments in the remainder of the afternoon, which undoubtedly places it as a possible topic to capitalize on for more than one brand.
In this game, one of the first who wanted to do it has been the current Mexican soccer champion, Cruz Azul, a squad that from its official Twitter account decided to respond to the official announcement of Messi’s departure issued by FC Barcelona, with a joking comment that was not well received.
In this way, the Mexican team responded to Barcelona’s announcement: “Unfortunately we already have our full foreigners places. Thank you very much, Messi. Success in the club you go to ”.
Although with this comment the celestial group managed to position itself within the conversation, the reality is that it did not do it in the best way. And it is that the users of social networks criticized the joke to the argument not to understand it and to consider that the message was simply forced.
The whispers ensured that a signing like Messi would not be within the reality of Cruz Azul with what the investment of the team from their social networks was simply a comment out of place and far from context.
Unfortunately we already have our full foreigners places.
Thank you very much, Messi.
Success in the club you go to.

At this point it is important to mention that it was precisely an economic disagreement that apparently led Messi not to renew his contract with Barcelona.
It is that even by paying him 50 percent of the contract that Messi had until last June, FC Barcelona had to get rid of several of its players in order to comply with the maximum salary mass imposed by the so-called financial Fair-Play of the Spanish La Liga.
In the statement, FCBarcelona says: “Although an agreement has been reached between FC Barcelona and Leo Messi and with the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract, it cannot be formalized due to economic and structural obstacles (regulation of The Spanish league)”.

If this was a joke. Where is the joke? Where is grace? Who did they prank on to begin with? Who did they joke with? Or in a whole. Where is the purpose of doing this? The sense?
