"Last night, I returned to a place that I miss with all my heart,"
"It's 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 one day I can return, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I never got to do."
"Always, of course, depending on what [the Messi camp] wants. There are also presidential elections before then, but in the case I am still president, I would love that."
Lionel Messi returned to Barcelona after scoring twice as Inter Miami beat Nashville SC 4-0 to reach the MLS Eastern Conference semi-finals for the first time in club history. The 38-year-old is Barcelona's record goalscorer and left for Paris Saint-Germain in 2021 without an official farewell, amid club financial issues and COVID-19 restrictions. Messi posted that he misses Camp Nou deeply, describing it as a place of immense happiness and stating he hopes to return and not only to say goodbye as a player. Barcelona president Joan Laporta has expressed a desire to bring Messi back, with a tribute match mooted while Camp Nou undergoes redevelopment.
