Barcelona to Hold Farewell Ceremony for Lionel Messi at Camp Nou

Toni Freixa, former Barcelona vice president, has stated that Lionel Messi's farewell ceremony will be held at Camp Nou within the next year and a half. The promise comes as Messi's 2021 departure from Barcelona unfolded contrary to his expectations.

Barcelona is planning to organize a farewell game for its former superstar.

According to Arjan's ambassador, Lionel Messi, who ended his career in the Argentina national football team last week, is still playing in the club level for the Inter Miami team. Meanwhile, Barcelona fans are still hoping that there will be an opportunity to see Leo in another game with this team's shirt and say goodbye to him in his honor. What will happen according to the former member of the board of directors of Barcelona club.

The winner of the eight Ballon d'Or in the summer of 2021 has left the Blue and Whites after 21 years due to Barcelona's inability to renew his contract due to the rules imposed by La Liga regarding the salary cap. This Argentinian striker played in 778 games for Barça and scored 672 goals. Messi helped the Blues win 34 different trophies, including 10 La Liga titles and four Champions League titles.

Tony Farisha, the former vice-president of the Barcelona club and a former member of the board of directors of the club, said in this regard: Within a year and a half, Leo Messi's farewell ceremony will be held in Barcelona and at the Nou Camp stadium. This is certain.

The 39-year-old Messi recently said in an interview with the Catalan newspaper "Sport" about his departure from Barcelona: "I didn't leave Barca as I imagined." After my departure, I felt strange because of the way things happened and because I was ending my last years of football without Barca fans. I always imagined that I would end my entire European career in Barcelona!

Barcelona club president Juan Laporta, who failed to live up to his campaign slogan of renewing the contract of this Argentine superstar, recently said about Leo Messi's secret visit to Nou Camp: I was happy to see Messi at Nou Camp, but we didn't know that he was going to come there. We love Messi. This is Leo's home and he knows it. I think he deserves the best farewell ceremony in history.
