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. The Argentinian star https://newswire.storyful.com/storylines/*/stories/258294?search_term=messi bid farewell to the club he joined at age 13 in a tearful press conference on August 8. Barcelona said Messi's departure was due to financial constraints, and the clubÕs inability to keep the player and stay within La LigaÕs <span class="caps">FFP</span> 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.
