The 33-year-old Argentine star Aguero has officially announced his retirement, and many fans are also very confused as to why former Barca captain Messi, as Aguero's well-known friend, has not returned to the Camp Nou to bid farewell to his good brothers. Earlier, at Messi's press conference to bid farewell to Barca, Aguero did not show up because of a serious injury to his leg muscles. So what is the reason why Messi did not attend Aguero's retirement ceremony?
On December 16, Beijing time, well-known journalist Jose Alvarez gave the answer when he participated in the interview program of Spanish TELEVISION Six. Messi had indeed planned to attend, and he was eager to "stand" for his friend's retirement ceremony and express his support. And from the "schedule", Messi also definitely has time, Paris will play against the lower teams in the French Cup this weekend, Messi will definitely take a break in this game, he has time to fly back to Barcelona.
However, when he learned that Messi was coming to his retirement ceremony, Aguero took the initiative to tell his friends not to come back. Aguero told Messi not to come to Camp Nou so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. As we all know, Messi's departure from Barca this summer was not pleasant. He even burst into tears at the farewell ceremony at the Camp Nou stadium. Aguero knows that "revisiting the same place" will make Messi feel very devastated.
In the end, Messi chose to respect his friend's advice, and he did not return to Camp Nou, avoiding meeting with Barca president Laporta, whom he did not want to see. However, although Messi did not attend Aguero's retirement ceremony, he still wrote a long post on social networks to congratulate Aguero, and Aguero also replied with an emotional message below Messi's blessing article.
Although Messi and Aguero will never have the opportunity to play side by side in the club field in the future, I believe that their deep friendship will continue for a long, long time off the pitch.
