"I owe him everything. I want to thank Pep from the bottom of my heart for so much that he has given to my career and to me as person," The Sun quoted Messi, as saying.

Messi also clarified that he didn't attend Guardiola's press conference because he was not in the right frame of mind.

"Due to the deeply emotional time this is for me I preferred not to be at Pep's Press conference," Messi said.

"I wanted to stay away from the media because I know they will want to see the sadness in the faces of the players and it is something I decided not to show," he added. (ANI)
