After four and a half years, I am back to my hometown! Every body: Messi was last at Camp Nou in May 2021

Messi surprised everyone today by posting a set of photos of himself on the lawn of the Spotify Camp Nou on his personal Instagram. The Argentine striker came to Barcelona this time and took the opportunity to see the renovation progress of this "blue and red temple" up close.

The Barcelona legend wrote emotional words in the caption on Instagram: "Last night I returned to a place that I miss with my soul. A place that makes me extremely happy. You have made me feel the happiest feeling in the world countless times."

At the same time, Barcelona's historic No. 10 player also hinted that he might step onto the Camp Nou lawn again in the future, and not just to say goodbye to the fans: "I hope one day I can come back, not just to say goodbye as a player, which I have never really been able to do...", he said in the Instagram message read.

The last time Messi stepped onto the lawn of Spotify's Camp Nou was back on May 15, 2021, when Barcelona played against Celta Vigo (1-2) in La Liga. Little did he know that day that it would be his last appearance for Barcelona and the last time he would score in a red and blue shirt.

Messi scored for Barcelona for the last time

At that time, Messi went on vacation with optimism, firmly believing that he could reach a contract extension agreement with the club, which was always his wish. However, when he returned to Barcelona, ​​he found that the club's financial situation had made renewing his contract impossible. Finally, on August 8, 2021, he left the team in tears at the farewell ceremony at Barcelona's 1899 Auditorium, and then joined Paris Saint-Germain.

After spending two seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, Messi moved to Major League Soccer and joined Inter Miami, joining hands with his old teammates Alba and Busquets again (the two will retire at the end of the season). The team also has former Barcelona forward Suarez, and the head coach is former Barcelona teammate Mascherano.
