Passing incognito at the Camp Nou on Sunday, Lionel Messi once again thrilled the hearts of Catalan supporters. The Argentine star of Inter Miami gave an interview to Sportin which he returned to his attachment to FC Barcelona and gave his view on the team led by Hansi Flick. At 38, the former Blaugrana captain ensures that he closely follows the club’s performances from the United States, surrounded by his former teammates Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Luis Suárez. “Yes, of course I am”he confides, before adding: “We often talk about results and matches, we follow everything that happens at the club. »
Messi, who has not set foot on the Camp Nou pitch since his departure to Paris in the summer of 2021, was also impatient to return to a renovated and vibrant stadium. “I can’t wait to go back once the work is completed. It will be strange to rediscover it, but also very moving to relive all these memories”he explains. The player, recently extended at Inter Miami until 2028, could also be the subject of a monumental tribute to Barcelona, as confirmed by Joan Laporta. President culé hopes to celebrate Argentinian legend “in front of 105,000 spectators” during the inauguration of the new Camp Nou, “if Messi wishes”.
