The Barcelona icons says they can't fathom seeing the Argentinian star play for any other club.

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta says it will "hurt" to see Lionel Messi in another club's shirt as the Argentine's move to Paris Saint-Germain has been confirmed.
Iniesta and Xavi are among the millions of Barca fans left heartbroken by Messi's exit as the legendary midfielder said that the Argentinian icon represents everything great about the club.
“I don’t know what happened internally, nor how things unfolded, but the club will need to recover from this transfer," Iniesta told AFP.

“It will hurt to see him in another team’s shirt. Leo personifies Barcelona. He was everything, he’s a player who transcends the team. I’ve never seen a player like him and I don’t think I ever will.

“[Barcelona] will continue to be one of the best teams, one of those that has to be on the summit.”

During his time with the club, Iniesta won La Liga nine times while also claiming four Champions League crowns.

Messi was a part of each of those triumphs, with the duo combining to be a major part of a history-making run atop European football.

Xavi on his own side has revealed he is "so sad" for his former team-mate Lionel Messi, who was forced to leave Barcelona despite his stated desire to stay with the club.

"I’m just so sad for Leo," Xavi said in an interview with The Times. "It’s a pity to see he and the club couldn’t find a solution. I know that Leo wanted to stay, but in the end it could not be sorted.

"The only thing I can say now is that I will miss him a lot. It’s even hard for me to picture Messi with a shirt other than Barca’s. It’s sad for Leo, especially for how I saw him emotionally at the Camp Nou the other day, but for FC Barcelona as well."

Xavi became a Barcelona legend during his Camp Nou career, forming a vital part of the club during one of its most successful eras.

During Xavi and Messi's time as team-mates, Barca won seven Liga titles and four Champions Leagues before Xavi departed after the 2014-15 season.

The last Barca board ruined the board with their embarassing transfer choices which ended up wasting money. Coutinho and Dembele alone cost over 200m and yet they don't make it into the team. Signing players like Paulinho for over 20m only to sell them for less or free a season later. Sell a young Arthur only to sign an aged Pjanic who they are now looking to dispose. See how many players they have signed and sold or loaned out for less in defence. Sold Suarez to buy a Braithwaithe? The list of their hopeless deals in the market is endless
