Former Real Madrid legend, Fernando Hierro says the departure of Lionel Messi from Barcelona to PSG will not have any effect in the survival of La Liga.
Hierro, who was a cult hero for the White Angels during his playing days, made this known at a World Football Summit.
He said that La Liga will continue to thrive regardless of how important a player might be for the club.
He also noted that the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar from the league did not affect the league.
“The LaLiga has endured that Neymar left and continues, Cristiano left and continues, Messi has left and will continue. I would like them to still be there because they are players who have marked an era, but it is an international product already very consolidated so as not to collapse when a star goes.
“It has been a delight for our football to have these wonderful players who have marked a great time, but I believe that the product of the LaLiga at an international level and what has been achieved is above whether certain players may or may not be.”

It’s not an error or by chance that at just 22yrs or there about he cost Napoli 80million dollars. Even CR7 did not command such a price tag at such age. I have watched him closely .for me he is world class and the best at his age bracket for now. I pray and hope he realizes his full potential. First Nigerian/African to win world foballer in the making
Really???? @Godditex please lets just keep this to Victor Osimhen don’t involve the GOAT CR7..
Firstly you must take the drastic Inflation in the transfer Market these days before you make such claims. Secondly Ronaldo was the hottest prospect in Europe at the age of 22years old. Man UTD turned down a lot of offers for his signature. Just to remind you the 80mil paid for Ronaldo was a world record fee back in 2009.
Costacurta was one bench warmer at AC Milan those days, how come he is now the messiah giving advice to defenders to cage Victor instead of Insigne that is always doing the shooting? Them Sha wan kill our boy career but God no go shame us.
Baba wey don chop bench pass coach.
No mind dis yeye man. Him no belief say God don bless Osimhem for us? No be only gloom for Naija; make Osimhen make us smile sometime. Dat is why Courtucura prayer go fail.
Anu oshi.
Who is Victor? I ask who is Victor when we have Percy Tau.
Regressive campaign chairman better crawl back into your hole, just because of one win by mistake and error you no want make we hear word. I hope you will be watching the Afcon live from your DSTV. Mumu
