Leo Messi returns to Camp Nou: “A place where I was immensely happy, I hope to be able to return” | Football | Sport

Leo Messi has returned to Barcelona. He took to the pitch at the new Camp Nou just days after the stadium opened its doors to more than 26,000 spectators for a first team training session after obtaining its first occupancy licence. And he made it public this Monday, just one day after Barça beat Celta in Balaídos and after sealing the classification of his team, which beat Nashville in the MLS playoffs. Messi scored two goals and had a fantastic game. Nothing new under the sun. Yes, it’s seeing him again in Barcelona. And contemplate a message full of nostalgia that has already stolen the hearts of Barça fans.

“Last night I returned to a place that I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world. I hope that one day I can return, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I have never been able to do…”, wrote the 10th this Monday morning on social networks.

Barcelona has yet to celebrate a tribute to the Rosario player, who, as underlined in the message, was unable to greet the fans except through a painful press conference.
