Revolution Recruit Lionel Messi With Simple Tweet After Barcelona Exit

In case you haven’t heard, FC Barcelona on Thursday announced that superstar Lionel Messi will not re-sign with the club. The 34-year-old, considered by some to be the greatest soccer player of all time, has been a free agent since June 30.

The New England Revolution reacted to the news with a simple recruitment pitch.
