Messi: Push to leave Barcelona had club's best interests in mind
Lionel Messi says he acted with Barcelona's best interests in mind when trying to engineer a move away from Camp Nou this summer.
In his first interview since he announced he was staying at the club, the Argentina forward also said he was willing to accept responsibility for his mistakes.
"After so many disagreements, I would like to bring an end to everything and put aside any differences," Messi told Diario Sport on Tuesday.
"I take responsibility for my mistakes and, if there were any, they were only to make Barcelona better and stronger.
"If any fans were annoyed by something that I said or did, let there be no doubt that anything I did was always with the club's best interests in mind."
