Messi to Attend Barcelona Anniversary Despite Laporta Rift

Lionel Messi to Attend Barcelona’s 125th Anniversary Celebration

Barcelona fans were left disappointed by Lionel Messi’s sudden departure from the club and the failed return that never materialized. Despite the tense relations with the current leadership, Messi is determined to not let it affect Barcelona’s upcoming 125th anniversary celebration.

Messi’s Strained Relationship with President Laporta

President Joan Laporta’s public promise to keep Messi at Barcelona followed by retracting their contract offer on the day of signing left a sour taste in Messi and his family’s mouth. Laporta’s failed attempts to bring Messi back to the club two years later further strained their relationship.

Messi’s Willingness to Participate in Celebrations

Despite the tension with Laporta, Messi is willing to attend Barcelona’s 125th anniversary celebrations if he is invited. According to Relevo, Messi is open to any requests made by the club for the event on November 29th at Liceu.

Possible Inter Miami-Barcelona Friendly

There have been talks of a friendly match between Inter Miami and Barcelona, giving fans the opportunity to see Messi in action one last time. This could be a chance for Messi to bid farewell to the fans who supported him for over a decade, especially after his abrupt departure from the club.
