words of lionel messi This voice at Diario Sport echoed throughout Catalonia. “I felt weird after the game because of everything that happened,” said the greatest player in soccer history. Barcelona. And he declared that he dreams of coming back. As a player? As a manager? As club president? Can I come back for a 6 month rental?
The Argentine’s return to public appearances to talk about Barcelona coincided with a surprise visit to the Camp Nou. Apparently, Leo had dinner with De Paul during a visit to Spain to join the national team and decided to pay him a surprise visit to the recently renovated Barcelona Stadium. According to him, when he saw the club’s idol, security guards allowed him to pass and even turned on the stadium lights.
The following day, the aforementioned interview conducted in Miami was published. “Due to the pandemic, I ended up playing my last few years behind closed doors. After spending my whole life at Barcelona, I never left like I dreamed of. As I said, I played my whole career at Barcelona and, yes, this… I imagined coming here (to the US), because that’s what I thought and what I wanted. And, well, the breakup was also a little strange. But I believe that the love of the people will always be there,” Leo said confidently. Nostalgia.
His words traveled throughout the city and interpretation began. Will you come back? Why did you go to the site without making an appointment with the manager? And while most Barcelona fans celebrated the return of the prodigal son, there was one member of the tribe left in the storm… none other than Joan Laporta, the president responsible for Messi’s sudden departure from the club.
“I didn’t know he was coming, but Spotify Camp Nou is his home. I think it was a good explosion when they explained what was going on. After dinner, he said he wanted to come with his friends. That was the action of a Barcelona fan,” Laporta said on Radio Catalunya about Leo’s visit to the stadium.
However, he later addressed the possibility of the player returning to the club, saying: “With all due respect to everyone, it is not realistic to talk about Leo Messi’s return as a player. It is not appropriate to speculate about a possible return.”
