In quite heartbreaking news for Barca fans, footage has now emerged of Lionel Messi greeting PSG fans in Paris airport ahead of an imminent transfer.
La Pulga, wearing a very appropriate shirt, waved at the fans from the window of the airport as it dawned on everyone that the legend will now become a Paris Saint-Germain player.
