Dear Leo Messi

Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

For so many years, you made us proud in a Barcelona shirt. You carried the club on your shoulders. In hard times, you gave us hope. When we needed a goal, you scored. When we needed magic, you created it. You never gave up.

We will miss you in the national team. Watching you play for Argentina was a dream. You played with your whole heart, and we felt every moment.

We are still so proud that we watched you play in the Barcelona jersey. Those memories will stay with us forever.

You are the greatest footballer ever. Not just because of your goals, but because of the joy, the love, and the humble way you played the game.

Thank you, Leo. You gave us everything.

🚨DID YOU KNOW? ➖In the final days of the transfer window, Barcelona were offered the chance to sign Nick Woltemade, but by then a deal for Gabriel Jesus was already close to being completed.

As a result, it was Juventus who ended up securing the German striker on loan.

In the end, Atlético Madrid are the ones who lost the most this transfer window.

They spent all summer playing tough guy over Julián Álvarez — shutting down Barça, talking about ego, respect, and principles.

So what did it get them?

- They keep a player who clearly wanted out.
- That player might now feel every minute in their shirt as a burden.
- And worst of all, they still didn’t finish their own rebuild properly.

Why? Because selling Julián could’ve given them the money and FFP room they needed to strengthen the squad.

Instead, they chose to block the player rather than build the team.

All that drama and pride… only to end up with an unhappy player and an incomplete window.

🔵🔴 Barça’s top earners this season have been revealed — and Rodri and Lamine Yamal are tied at the top, both pulling in €31.25M. Raphinha follows in third with €20.84M.

Also making the list of Barça’s highest-paid players: Koundé, Ter Stegen, De Jong, Pedri, Adeyemi, Gordon, and Olmo.

So, do you think these salaries match their performance on the pitch? 🤔

🚨UPDATE ➖According to Diario Sport, Gavi is making good progress in his recovery and is set to rejoin part of the team's training session tomorrow.

After tests ruled out any serious injury, his condition keeps improving — and he could even be named in Barcelona's squad for the Valencia match.

Barcelona new number 4 🔵🔴

🚨DID YOU KNOW? ➖Xavi Espart is the only outfield player for Barça who has played the full 90 minutes in every match this season.

✔️ 90' vs Elche
✔️ 90' vs Athletic Club
✔️ 90' vs Rayo Vallecano

What a brilliant start for the young Blaugrana star! 🔥💙❤️

Culers, how do you feel about Barça’s current squad depth heading into 2026/27? 🔵🔴

UPDATE - Barcelona have pulled out of the race for Ruud Nijstad following Twente's refusal of their final offer for the 18-year-old defender.

With the deadline approaching, the club has decided against bringing in any alternative defensive reinforcements. 🔵🔴

Goodnight Culers
