Football legend Lionel Messi made a secret visit to the newly renamed Spotify Camp Nou on Sunday night, returning to the stadium where he enjoyed the most glorious years of his career with FC Barcelona.
In a video shared by football journalist Fabrizio Romano on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner expressed deep emotion about his visit.
“Last night I returned to a place that I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy,” Messi said.
He added, “I hope one day I can come back, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I could never do.”
Messi departed Barcelona in 2021 after more than two decades at the club, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of records, trophies, and unforgettable moments that defined an era in world football.
