El Prat Airport

Asked by reporters at Barcelona's El Prat airport if Lionel Messi would later on Tuesday sign with the French club, Jorge Messi, who is also the player's agent, said: "Yes".

Lionel Messi, who was accompanied by his wife and three children, is a free agent after the collapse of his new deal with Barcelona.

The first Germanwings flight on the same route as the plane that crashed in the French Alps took off from Barcelona Wednesday.

Grim-faced and some in tears, relatives of passengers of the German airliner that crashed in the French Alps today gathered at Barcelona airport, desperate for news of their loved ones.
