HIBAPRESS – Follow-up
Argentine football legend Lionel Messi, the star of the American Inter Miami team, revealed after a secret visit to the new "Camp Nou" stadium that he wishes to return to Catalonia one day.
Messi wrote in a message he published on Instagram, accompanied by five photos of him and a video clip on Sunday, "Last night I returned to a place I miss very much. A place where I was very happy, where you made me feel a thousand times like I was the happiest man in the world."
The 38-year-old veteran striker, who led Inter Miami to the semi-finals of the Eastern Conference by scoring two goals out of the four in the 4-0 victory over Nashville in the third match on Saturday, added, "I hope I can return one day, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I was never able to do that."
Despite his declared desire to stay in Barcelona, the winner of the Ballon d'Or for the best player in the world 8 times, left his eternal club in August 2021 at the end of his contract, due to the inability of the Catalan club to pay his salary of 60 million euros per season, to Paris Saint-Germain of France, which he defended until 2023.
The message of the 2022 World Cup champion with Argentina comes three days after the open training in front of the fans of the Catalan club at the "Camp Nou" stadium, whose opening date has been delayed several times since the launch of its renovation project in June 2023.
