FC Barcelona are reportedly set to invite Lionel Messi and other club legends on November 29, for a special event to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the Catalan giants. After the Argentine superstar left FC Barcelona in 2021 for Paris Saint-Germain despite the fans not wanting him to go, he will be making his return next month after more than three years, to get acknowledged among the greatest players in club history.
Notably, during his illustrious career at FC Barcelona, Lionel Messi made a whopping 778 appearances in 17 years, scoring 672 goals and 303 assists after graduating from the famous La Masia Academy. With such insane levels of individual performances, he went on to win 34 trophies for the Catalan giants, including the La Ligas, UEFA Champions Leagues, Copa del Reys, FIFA Club World Cups, and many more.
Lionel Messi is expected to be a part of playoff games of the MLS Cup 2024 for Inter Miami next month
According to the report from Relevo and its columnist Miguel Rico, who cited anonymous sources, Lionel Messi will be heading back to FC Barcelona for the one-night commemorative event next month. But at the same time, November 29 is just around the time Inter Miami, the current club of Lionel Messi, will be playing the playoff games in the MLS Cup 2024 in the USA, which is why he might not be able to make the event in the Spanish city.
With that, it is also speculated that Lionel Messi might send a video message to commemorate the 125th anniversary of FC Barcelona since the club made him who he is today, and he has all the love for them too. Moreover, it was last month when Lionel Messi had sent a video message to his good friend and former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez on his retirement from international football in Uruguay.
