Lionel Messi, the star forward for Inter Miami, quietly revisited the iconic Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday evening—a venue forever etched in his legacy as the heart of his most triumphant years with FC Barcelona.
The renowned Fabrizio Romano posted on his X account the following day, the legendary eight-time Ballon d’Or recipient expressed deep sentiment: “Last night, I went back to a spot that my soul truly longs for—a place where I experienced unparalleled joy.”
He further conveyed his hopes, stating, “I dream of returning someday, not merely to bid farewell as a player, something I never got the chance to do properly.”
This unannounced trip has reignited fond memories among supporters, harking back to Messi’s dominant era at Barcelona, where he spearheaded countless victories in league titles and Champions League glory.
Messi parted ways with the club in 2021 after over two decades of service, departing with an unmatched collection of achievements, accolades, and indelible highlights.
The newly branded Spotify Camp Nou, launched this year through a major sponsorship deal, remains a symbol of his profound bond with Barcelona. His surprise appearance is being hailed as a moving tribute to that enduring relationship.
