"Last night I returned to a place that I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world. Hopefully one day I can come back to say goodbye as a player, as I could never do..."
"Messi moved to Barcelona in 2001 as a 13-year-old and worked his way through the ranks at their La Masia academy to become the club's greatest player, their leading goalscorer with 672, and arguably the best footballer the world has ever seen."
"Messi has played a transformational role in MLS, with Miami playing at sold-out stadiums all across the United States. He scored his 41st and 42nd goals of another brilliant season against Nashville on Saturday night as Miami eased into the Eastern Conference semi-finals for the first time. They will face FC Cincinnati next."
Lionel Messi visited Camp Nou overnight for the first time since leaving in 2021 and inspected the revamped stadium. Less than 24 hours earlier he starred for Inter Miami in a 4-0 MLS play-off win over Nashville, scoring twice and assisting twice. He posted an emotional Instagram message expressing how much he misses the place and hoping to one day return to say goodbye as a player. Messi joined Barcelona’s La Masia at 13, became the club’s top scorer with 672 goals, won multiple domestic and European titles, then left due to financial issues and later joined Inter Miami.
