Ivan Rakitic sacked this Wednesday of the fans of the FC Barcelona in a very special press conference in which it appeared beside Josep Maria Bartomeu. The Croat spoke especially of his stage in the group barcelonista, but the press also had time to ask after him Leo Messi.

Afterwards each player has to take his decision and I prefer to speak of mine, the other do not know them, but for me the first option always would have to be the Barça", stood out.

Although it was evident that Ivan did not want to 'wet' too much on the case of his already ex mate, the press insisted and followed asking him. "I have had too much that think on me as to think in other players. I respect the decision of all the footballers and already have said that they are decisions that each one has to take", explained, esquivando the questions.

Finally, to the thread of this, left clear the a lot of that admires and respects to the FC Barcelona like club in spite of having decided go. In the case of the '10', the Croat thinks that also has to do what creates better for his future. "I above all else respect to the Barça, is part of my life and of my heart, and speak of my situation and that I think that was the moment to give the step. Afterwards each player has to do what think that is the best for him", finalised.
