Legendary Argentine footballer Lionel Messi is set to return to FC Barcelona for the club’s 125th anniversary on November 29, 2024. This visit marks his first since leaving in 2021. Barcelona president Joan Laporta invited him to Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu celebration.

Messi started at Barcelona in 2000 at La Masia academy and became the club’s most decorated player, securing numerous titles, including 10 La Liga titles and 4 UEFA Champions League trophies. However, financial constraints and Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules forced his move, leading him to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and later Inter Miami.

Recently, Messi’s MLS Cup campaign with Inter Miami ended abruptly with a first-round loss to Atlanta United. While there had been talk of a return to Barcelona as his contract with PSG ended, he chose to stay in MLS.

The 125th-anniversary gala offers a chance for reconciliation. Laporta has extended an olive branch despite past financial struggles, hoping to move beyond former tensions. Icons like Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, and Pep Guardiola are also expected to celebrate the club’s golden era.

Rumours suggest a possible testimonial match for Messi at Camp Nou after renovations, giving fans a chance to celebrate his legacy. While his future playing for Barcelona remains uncertain, attending this event signals a healing of relations and honours his significant role in Barcelona’s rich history.

With Inter Miami’s season over, Messi’s timing for the visit is ideal. His presence at the gala, attended by many club legends, will likely be a major highlight of Barcelona’s celebrations. Though his playing days at Barcelona may be over, his enduring connection with the club continues to shine.
