Coming back to the 35-year-old football superstar, he had recently been in an interview with Dario Ole where he expressed his desire to settle down in Barcelona after hanging his boots in professional international football.

"When I finish my career, I will return to live in Barcelona, it's my home," said Messi to De Ole.

"I kept everything from the final: The boots, the t-shirts... Everything is there on the AFA property and now in March, I'm going to take everything to Barcelona, where I have my things and my memories,” he added later.
