Lionel Messi's image is being removed from the Camp Nou

Truly, the end of an era was marked at Barcelona’s Camp Nou on August 10 as an image of Lionel Messi was removed from a mural at the stadium in the wake of his departure from the club.

Recall that the Argentinian star bid farewell to the club he joined at age 13 in a tearful press conference on August 8.

Meanwhile, Barcelona said Messi’s departure was due to financial constraints, and the club’s inability to keep the player and stay within La Liga’s FFP regulations.

Footage shot outside the stadium by local videographer Edorta Moreno shows workers removing Messi from a mural depicting him alongside Gerard Pique and Antoine Griezmann.
