The Camp Nou should be ready at the end of 2024, or, at the latest, at the beginning of 2025. Fútbol Club Barcelona wants to apply an innovative motion that will serve, as we say, in tribute to its greatest icons.

One of the tributes that FC Barcelona will pay to Lionel Messi is that gate 10 of the stadium will have the name of Lionel Messi, in honor of the player who shone for so many years and who became the best player in the club's history, in addition of the top scorer and the top assister.

In addition to that gesture, FC Barcelona will not forget a tribute match to Lionel Messi when the stadium is finished. In principle, it will be in the 2025 edition of the Joan Gamper, where they will play against Inter Miami. This has not yet been confirmed, but it is known that it is something that interests Barcelona.

Xavi Hernandez and his support to Messi:

Xavi Hernandez has always defended Lionel Messi, even when the Argentine was criticized the most, when months ago he won the Ballon d'Or when for many others deserved it... This is what Xavi Hernandez said about Lionel: "In Spain there is controversy over all. In Aitana there is no debate, what she has won, what she has played, her importance in the game, the dominance of both legs... is deserved, and so is Leo's. Deserved. I called him and congratulated him. He is delighted. I have always had a good relationship with him."
