"We miss Barcelona a lot. With the kids, continuously, and my wife, we speak about things in Barcelona. The idea is to return there to live. We have our house there, everything, so that's what we want. It's a strange feeling after leaving, because of how it all happened, because I spent my final seasons there playing without fans due to the pandemic."
"It's a strange feeling after leaving, because of how it all happened, because I spent my final seasons there playing without fans due to the pandemic. After spending all my life there, I didn't leave as I had dreamed of. I imagined myself spending my whole career in Europe in Barcelona and then coming here [to Inter Miami], as I did, because that was my plan. It was what I wanted. So, my goodbye was a little strange because of the situation."
Lionel Messi made a surprise visit to Camp Nou after returning to Spain to meet Argentina team-mates, stepping onto the pitch for the first time since leaving for Paris Saint-Germain over four years ago. Messi remains Barcelona's record goalscorer and appearance maker but did not receive an official farewell because of the club's financial problems and pandemic restrictions. Messi says he and his family frequently speak about Barcelona, they own a house there, and they plan to return to live. Barcelona president Joan Laporta said he was surprised but delighted and has spoken of a possible tribute match.
