According to the UK media "The Mirror," Lionel Messi is expected to return to Camp Nou in Barcelona for a farewell match after spending an incredible time in the city. At the age of 13, Messi moved from Argentina to Spain. He spent over 20 years at Camp Nou, gradually becoming one of the greatest players in history. During his time with Barcelona, Messi broke almost every conceivable record, but in 2021, he left Barcelona to join Paris Saint-Germain due to the club's severe financial issues.
Unfortunately, when Messi left Camp Nou, he didn't have the opportunity to bid farewell to the fans officially. However, in the coming years, he may have another chance. Barcelona's sporting director and former Barcelona midfielder, Deco, stated that they hope to invite Messi back to Camp Nou after the stadium is fully renovated in 2024.
"I think there will be a farewell match, maybe when the new stadium is ready," Deco said. Messi has always been the greatest idol in the club's history. In the history of the club, there have been many great idols like Cruyff and Ronaldinho, but Messi is probably the greatest of them all. In Barcelona, Messi will certainly play a farewell match, although the exact timing is still unknown. He is still playing football, and we hope he will play for many more years because football lovers would be delighted to see him enjoy the game."
In fact, Messi may also face Barcelona in the future. International Miami owner Jorge Mas has promised to facilitate a potential friendly match between Barcelona and Inter Miami. "Messi left Barcelona in 2021, and it wasn't in line with his wishes, and he couldn't bid farewell to the club where he played as a child. I think the situation at that time was not what Messi would have wanted. In the coming years, we will do everything possible to give him a chance to bid farewell to Barcelona's fans."
Messi had a successful start with Inter Miami, helping the team win its first-ever trophy in club history. But before Messi joined, Inter Miami had a poor record and ultimately finished 14th in the Eastern Conference, missing the playoffs. |
