"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."
"I am really looking forward to getting back to the stadium when it's finished because I moved to Paris and I never returned to Camp Nou. And then Barça moved to [the Olympic Stadium in] Montjuïc. It will be strange to go back and see it because the last time I saw it was a long time ago. It will be emotional to get back there and remember everything that was."
"return for the goodbye I never got to say as a player."
Lionel Messi expressed a strong desire to return to live in Barcelona with his family, noting that they frequently talk about life there and still own a house. Messi made an unexpected visit to the redeveloped Camp Nou, taking pitch photographs that rapidly gained millions of likes, and was accompanied by teammate Rodrigo De Paul. Messi said he never returned to Camp Nou after moving to Paris in 2021 and expects an emotional reaction when he visits the finished stadium. Barcelona have been playing at the Olympic Stadium since 2023 while Camp Nou undergoes a €1.5 billion refurbishment.
