Barcelona’s all-time top scorer, Lionel Messi, remains deeply connected to the Catalan club even after his tearful departure in 2021. Forced to leave due to financial troubles and La Liga’s strict salary cap, Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain before moving to Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. Yet, the Argentine legend insists that Barcelona is more than just a club to him, it is his childhood home, his family’s emotional anchor, and the defining chapter of his career.
In a recent interview with Spanish media, Messi revealed that he and his wife Antonella Roccuzzo, along with their children, often talk about returning to Barcelona. “I really want to go back. We miss Barcelona a lot. My wife, my children, and I talk about it all the time. We have our house there, everything is there, it’s what we want,” Messi said.
Many fans and analysts blame club president Joan Laporta and La Liga president Javier Tebas for the circumstances that led to Messi’s departure. However, over time, the bitterness has softened. His surprise visit to the renovated Camp Nou recently reignited speculation about a possible comeback, sparking excitement among supporters who still chant his name.
For Messi, Barcelona represents more than football glory. It is where he grew up, where he became a global icon, and where he forged an unbreakable bond with millions of fans. Even as he continues his career in the United States, the dream of returning to Barcelon whether as a player, ambassador, or in another role remains alive in his heart and in the hopes of his family.
