After dozens of titles, hundreds of goals and countless records, Lionel Messi's spectacular career at FC Barcelona could be coming to an abrupt end. The divorce may turn ugly, too.
Barcelona confirmed that Messi sent the club a document expressing his desire to leave.

Barcelona said it told Messi in response that it wants him to stay and finish his career at the club.
