On the night of Saturday November 8 to Sunday November 9, Lionel Messi distinguished himself again. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner scored twice and delivered two assists with Inter Miami, against Nashville, during the Major League Soccer playoffs (4-0).
In the process, the Albiceleste international flew to Spain. He found himself on the pitch at Camp Nou, the FC Barcelona stadium which was the scene of his numerous exploits between 2005 and 2021.
“Last night I returned to a place that I miss. A place where I have been immensely happy, where you have made me the happiest person in the world a thousand times”wrote “La Pulga” on his Instagram account, as a comment on a photo where we see him from behind.
Messi, soon a ceremony at Camp Nou?
“I hope that one day I can come back, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I never was able to do…” concludes Lionel Messi. Words which suggest that a farewell ceremony could be organized at Camp Nou in his honor.
In 2021, the native of Rosario left Barça to join Paris Saint-Germain while being free of any contract. Lionel Messi’s lease with the Catalan club was not extended in “due to economic and structural obstacles”.
