They still love each other, Barça sent a wink to Messi and this was his reaction

Lionel Messi could not return to FC Barcelona, but his love for the Catalan club does not fade. Beyond the fact that the current leadership, led by Joan Laporta, could not renew him in 2021 and now did not sign him on a free transfer in 2023, Leo continues to love Barça, to the point that he has the shield tattooed on his left leg. Although the bond seemed to have remained sensitive due to his frustrated return, in the last hours it was evident that the '10' does not hold a grudge.

The culé team made a post remembering how they won the 2011 European Super Cup after beating Porto 2-0 with goals from Messi and Cesc Fábregas in Monaco. The publication had several parts and one of them was dedicated exclusively to the goal that the Rosario player scored that day. They missed precisely that scoring contribution this Wednesday against Porto, a match in which they suffered more than necessary and won by the minimum with a goal from Ferran Torres.

Barcelona completed that wink by tagging the top winner of the Ballon d'Or and he, far from turning a blind eye, reacted by 'liking' the post, something that did not go unnoticed by fans who still dream of seeing the player from Rosario dressed in blue. and red once again, even if it is in a friendly match. Jorge Mas, majority shareholder of Inter Miami, recently spoke about this opportunity and promised that Leo will have his farewell as he deserves at Barça.

In Catalonia he is very excited about the emergence of the youth team and some are already putting his appearance on a par with that of La Pulga in 2004. However, Xavi said about the latter: “We are not doing him any favors by saying that (to Lamine), the Expectations are enormous, tremendous, he is demonstrating it. He is a 16-year-old boy playing at a brutal level. Comparing him to Messi… we have already seen that all the footballers who have been compared to Messi have not done well.”
