"The Argentine icon, who left Barça in 2021, has never hidden his love for the club, even though things are tense between his camp and the current Barcelona administration led by president Joan Laporta. And, a video has now emerged showing Messi seeing the developments that are taking place at the Spotify Camp Nou, where Barça hope to play again later this month after two years away."
""Last night I returned to a place I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you guys made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world," Messi wrote on his social media. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner then added that he hoped to return in the future, ruing the fact that he never got to say goodbye to the fans at Camp Nou when he left the club."
Messi secretly visited the redeveloped Spotify Camp Nou last weekend. A video showed him viewing the developments as Barcelona prepares to play there later this month after two years away. He expressed deep affection for the club and for fans, stating he returned to "a place I miss with my soul" and that they made him feel "a thousand times the happiest person in the world." He lamented never getting to say goodbye to the fans when he left Barça in 2021. Barcelona have attempted to organise a tribute for him without major progress. Reports suggest he might support a candidate opposing president Joan Laporta in upcoming elections.
