After an outstanding career with Barcelona, Lionel Messi appears to be returning for a farewell game in his honor.
Messi spent more than 20 years at Camp Nou, having moved there from Argentina at the age of 13 and developing into one of the sport’s all-time greats.
The forward came close to breaking every record in the book during his stint with the team, but he decided to leave for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021.
He had no intention of making the change when the previous season ended, but financial difficulties necessitated it.
LIONEL MESSI doesn’t disguise his opinion of Inter Miami while planning his own playing time.
Despite being denied a farewell in front of his adoring public, it appears that he will get his wish fulfilled in the shape of a testimonial in the not-too-distant future.
Former Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Deco is the club’s sporting director, and he has said that after the stadium is finished being refurbished in 2024, they hope to invite Messi back for a game in his honor.
I imagine there will be a farewell game,” Deco said to Lance. “But maybe in the new stadium when it’s finished. The club will always consider him their greatest hero. He may be the greatest idol the club has ever had, even surpassing Cruyff and Ronaldo.
There is little doubt that he will play a final game for Barcelona, but no one knows when that will be. Football fans are thrilled that he is playing, and they hope he continues to do so for many more seasons.
Messi could play for Barcelona in the future, as MLS co-owner Jorge Mas has already promised to arrange a friendly match between Barcelona and Inter Miami.
The departure of Messi from Barcelona in 2021 did not sit well with him, Mas claimed. The conditions were not what Lionel would have preferred, but he was unable to say goodbye to the club that had embraced him as a boy. In the next years, we will do all in our power to ensure that he is able to bid goodbye to his fans in Barcelona.
Messi has gotten off to a great start in Miami, as he has already won the Leagues Cup. After a difficult start to the season before the Argentine’s arrival, the squad is currently 14th in the Eastern Conference and looks certain to miss the playoffs.
