Truly, it was a unique experience for us to be able to share this. Although it was intense and very short, it was wonderful to receive all this love, which I already knew was there, but experiencing it firsthand was incredible. Everything you did for us over these days was astonishing, pure madness. So thank you all for the love, and we will surely return someday \u2014 perhaps to play a match or on some other occasion \u2014 but we will definitely visit again. Thank you very much, thank you,\" said Messi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
