Messi Vows To End His Career At Barcelona

Five time Ballon d'Or winner, Lionel Messi, has reiterated his commitment to his Spanish La Liga side, Barcelona, saying it is the only club for him.

Messi, who has been with Barcelona since the age of 13, inspired the Catalans to a five-trophy haul last year, and then crowned all his effort by winning a record fifth Ballon d'Or crown on Monday. 

And despite stating in 2013 that he wanted to return to boyhood club Newell's Old Boys before he retires, it appears Messi has changed his plans. 

"I have said it a thousand and one times, it is the same response as always," he told reporters.

"My idea is to finish at home, and my home is Barcelona. I hope it can be like this."

Messi's current contract at Barcelona ends in 2018, when the Argentinian will be 31 years old. Goal
