You can imagine Lionel Messi made up his mind about leaving Barcelona at some point during their humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
It was difficult to look at the institutional and on-field crisis at Barcelona – not to mention Philippe Coutinho appearing off the bench and score twice against his parent club – and blame Messi for wanting to see out his twilight years elsewhere.
You can imagine some pretty terse and awkward conversations between the club hierarchy and its greatest-ever player. In the end, he stayed, seemingly strongarmed by the threat of taking the ugly contractual dispute to the courts.
But maybe he came to his decision another way. Some backroom Barcelona boardroom, lights dimmed, and a presentation that ended with an EDM-soundtracked video: ‘Pedri 2019/20 – Amazing Skills, Goals & Assists – HD.’
The most talented youngster in Spain was coming to the Camp Nou.
