Messi visits Camp Nou during renovations: “I hope I can come back one day” | OneFootball

Lionel Messi visited Camp Nou, which is undergoing major renovations, on Sunday night. The Barcelona idol took advantage of the fact that the Argentine national team gathered in Spain to prepare for the friendly match they will play against Angola, in Luanda, to revisit the place where he became one of the greatest players of all time.

Currently at Inter Miami, Messi took the opportunity to express his disappointment at not having had the chance to play a farewell match for Barcelona at the stadium.

“Last night I returned to a place I deeply miss. A place where I was immensely happy, where you made me feel like the happiest person in the world a thousand times over. I hope that someday I can return, and not just to say goodbye as a player, something I never got to do,” wrote Messi.

Recently, Lionel Messi renewed his contract with Inter Miami until 2028. At 38 years old, the Argentine star is in the final stretch of his career and is preparing to play his last World Cup with the Argentine national team.

Despite his strong connection with his country, Messi has already stated that he will return to live in Barcelona after his retirement. His bond with the city and the Blaugrana club is enormous, and the expectation is that he will have some kind of role, even if it is more institutional, at Barça.
