- The Uruguayan believes La Liga will manage without the Blaugrana marksman.
- He says the competition itself and the clubs participating remain the most important things.
“I wouldn’t say it is a gift [Messi finally staying],” Atletico Madrid legend Diego Forlan told Marca.
“Obviously, La Liga has grown up thanks to the great players who played in different clubs. But La Liga is La Liga, and the clubs are very important and are in history.
“It is very good he stayed, but La Liga will be still there… It is more than 90 years history of La Liga and big stars have been here and will be also.
