Lol at the guys who think with or without Messi, the club would be making the money it makes, maybe it's true for Spain and Europe, but our popularity will take a major hit in North America and Asia, a big % of fans in these regions watch Barca for Messi and Messi alone, not for tiki taka, not for our history or values, only Messi period

Source, I have a ton of friends who were Madrid fans, whenever a Madrid game was played, I see screenshots of it on Instagram stories, but now that Ronaldo is gone and doing well for Juve, almost a 100% of those screenshots are Forza Juve

If y'all think the same wouldn't happen to us when Messi is gone, lol
