Notwithstanding, the six-time Ballon d’Or winner hosted an emotional press conference in Catalonia on Sunday morning, confirming that he was set to draw to a close a spectacular 21-year career with the club.
“We got knocked out in the semi-finals by Liverpool which stopped us getting to another final. We got to the semi-final with Chelsea with Pep [Guardiola], they prevented us from getting to another final.

The Blues famously overcame Guardiola’s all-conquering Catalans to book a place alongside Bayern Munich for just their second appearance in a Champions League final.
