🎙️ Messi: I would have liked to spend my whole career at Barça | OneFootball

Leo Messi admits that he wants to return to Barcelona. As a player? For now, only as a fan of the club that made him great, as the star himself acknowledges in an interview with 'Sport'.

"Obviously, I’m going to come back. I’ll be present at the stadium as just another fan, supporting the team, the club. For now, I’ll be here for a few more years, but we’re going to return to Barcelona, because, as I’ve always said, it’s my home. We miss it a lot, so we’ll be back there,” explained the Argentine after receiving the “Most Beloved Player in Barça’s History” award from the Catalan media outlet.

Messi once again recalled his bitterness at having to leave Barcelona against his will, although without mentioning Joan Laporta, who was responsible for that decision at the time. “Unfortunately, things turned out differently (...) I had to leave the club without any fans there because of the pandemic year, so it was a very unusual year as well," he explained.

"I would have liked to spend my entire career there without having to go to another club. And... And, well, to have played only there in Europe,” confessed the Argentine.
