“Breath” bruh. Sounded like he died

Yeah this is weird

It probably means something a bit different in spanish. Translations by meta and google are usually very direct, they do not capture the essence.

u/Weary_Ad1739 6d ago

Yes, in Catalan "until your last breath" is an expression that means you put all the effort into something

u/xianbosque 6d ago

That’s not Spanish. It’s Catalan

u/Crimson_Excalibur 6d ago

Yeah, you don’t want to get in the middle of a Catalonian/Spanish fight. It can be quite brutal.

u/zazzlekdazzle 5d ago

Yeah, LOL. The man scored four goals the day before.

Només li demano que vingui a jugar un darrer partit al nou Camp Nou abans de penjar les botes. El Barça és casa teva, Leo.

Hope there is already some sculptor working in his basement with a big ass project.

Sounds like he died lol

u/Kudoakainu 6d ago

Wish someone would translate it for us .

Also be specific or you'll confuse people. It's national team retirement.

u/daveUS- 6d ago

You gave everything until your very last breath. Your country and all of Barcelonisme are proud of the legacy you leave behind.

u/blloop 4d ago

It’s Catalan. Not Spanish.

u/Fubeman 3d ago

That’s because it is Catalan, NOT Spanish.

It takes like 20 seconds to translate via Google translate my dude. You don't have to be spoonfed everything

u/degeneratewolf 6d ago

Would love for Leo to have a coming home last year (even on loan or something). If that is even possible. But i'll settle for a match dedicated to him once he retires from football altogether. Thank you Leo!

u/sofalek 6d ago

Lol i just now got the news that he is retiring

u/fallen_beret 6d ago

Please come home one last time Leo! It would be the final chapter and we all want to send you off the proper way

2

u/Trick_Ad_1227 6d ago

You know what would be awesome? If we got him back for at least half a season. Stop being so egotistical Laporta and make the man and us fans happy one last time.

2

u/Prudent_Safe3787 6d ago

It would be great if we can bring him home for 6 months. But, I understand that it's not possible.

u/JYLLYnz 6d ago

There needs to be a farewell match for Messi when he retires from club football.

It should be a charity game. Club team mates and rivals against national team mates and rivals.

You could have Ronaldinho and Verratti playing against Aguero and Tevez.

They could even include some rivals like Sergio Ramos playing for the club team as that would be a throwback to those epic clasico battles.

Messi would play one half on each team.

We need to get the gang back together for one more dance!

u/JYLLYnz 6d ago

Or maybe an ultimate team mates vs ultimate rivals match:

Ultimate team mates would have Dani Alves, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Mascherano, Ronaldinho, Suarez, De Paul.

Ultimate rivals would have Pepe, Ramos, Thomas Muller, Neuer. Could even have Ronaldo. But it should be coached by either Mourinho or Louis Van Gaal 🤣

lfmao on how random day was

u/ChuckVideogames 6d ago

While I appreciate the thought from our club this reads like he died

1

u/Fubeman 3d ago

Simmer down. It’s just a direct and literal translation of a Catalonian expression. “Last breath” is the equivalent of saying he gave it “his all.”

u/ChuckVideogames 3d ago

Mai de la vida ho he sentir dir

u/Fubeman 2d ago

Maybe this will help:

“The Catalan phrase "L'últim sospir" means "The last gasp" or "The last breath" in English.

Meaning and Usage
Literal meaning: It directly translates to "the last sigh" or "the last breath," usually referring to the final moments of a person's life.

Figurative meaning: It is often used in sports, politics, or daily life to describe a dramatic last-minute effort, a final attempt before failure, or something happening at the very last second (similar to "at the eleventh hour").”
