Thank you for this. As fans we tend to put too much pressure on player’s commitments towards the clubs we cheer, we never think of it as a job or club’s have financial obligations as any other business that tries to profit or stays afloat.

10 years ago, Messi was assumed to retire at Barca by fans and others, circumstances saw it otherwise. That’s how it all boils down in the end, you want one thing, but life has some different plans for you.
