FC Barcelona fans still have a soft spot for Lionel Messi, and it is not strange at all since the Argentine is arguably the greatest player in the history of the Catalan club. Messi feels the same way for FC Barcelona since he has played there for the majority of his career. Messi is currently at Inter Miami, but he took the time to congratulate FC Barcelona’s women’s team today publicly. The FC Barcelona women’s team won the UEFA Women’s Champions League after defeating Lyon 2-0. Messi posted the image of the team celebrating with the trophy on his Instagram and wrote, “Congratulations, champions.” The official FC Barcelona women’s team social media pages reacted to this post and thanked Messi for the gesture of congratulating them. FC Barcelona also tweeted this recognition with the goat emoji.
Barcelona fans were very happy to see the Argentine star still thinking and paying attention to the Catalan club’s performances, both the men’s and women’s teams this season. This gesture assured some fans that Messi still cares about the club and that his wish to return to the club will eventually happen, regardless of whether it is as a player or as a club member. FC Barcelona also hopes that Messi returns since the two spent lots of ears together.
Messi revealed that he had offers from other European clubs after he left Europe, but he only wanted to return to FC Barcelona. Messi said, “I have offers from Europe, but the only European team I wanted was FC Barcelona. I talked with Xavi, we talked about the possibility of me coming back. We were very excited. I really wanted to return to Barça but after having lived through what I went through and the departure I had, I didn’t want to be in the same situation again... Waiting to see what was going to happen and leaving my future in someone else’s hands.”
Messi will not play in tonight’s Inter Miami match against the Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada as he will be rested for the next games next week. Messi will most likely play for Inter Miami’s home matches against Atlanta United and St. Louis City at the Chase Stadium. Then Messi will join the Argentina national team for the Copa America in June.
