Messi’s Nostalgic Return to Spotify Camp Nou
On Sunday, Messi shared a series of five photographs and a video showcasing his visit to the stadium located in Les Corts. He conveyed his deep affection for the venue that holds countless memories for him, stating, “Last night I returned to a place I miss with all my soul.” In his emotional message, he reflected on the joy he experienced during his time at Barcelona.

This visit came shortly after an open training session held by the current Barca team at the stadium. FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta mentioned the possibility of honoring Messi when the stadium renovations are completed in 2026. “It would be a beautiful way to inaugurate the stadium with 105,000 spectators. It will depend on whether he wants to, but I would love to do it if I am still president,” Laporta remarked.
Upcoming Elections and Future Plans
Messi’s visit and the president’s comments occur a few months ahead of FC Barcelona’s elections, scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. This period may set the stage for Messi’s potential return and celebration of his outstanding career.
