"I Belong to Barcelona": Lionel Messi Opens Up About His True Feelings
Lionel Messi, the living football legend, has once again expressed his deep connection to FC Barcelona, the club where he became an icon. In a heartfelt interview, Messi reflected on his career and life, describing Barcelona not just as a team but as a defining chapter of his existence.
Messi’s words, “I belong to Barcelona,” resonated with fans worldwide. It’s a sentiment rooted in over two decades of shared history. From joining the club’s academy, La Masia, at the tender age of 13 to becoming its all-time leading scorer and a global ambassador, Messi’s journey with Barcelona transcends the pitch.
“Barcelona is more than a club to me—it’s home,” Messi shared. “It’s where I grew up, where my children were born, and where I became the player I am today.”
Despite his move to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in 2021 and his current tenure at Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS), Messi’s heart clearly remains tied to Barcelona. His emotional departure from the club due to financial constraints left fans devastated, and the possibility of a future return remains a recurring topic of discussion.
Messi recalled some of his most cherished moments in a Blaugrana shirt, including lifting four Champions League trophies and winning 10 La Liga titles. However, he also touched on the heartbreak of leaving, describing it as one of the most difficult moments of his life.
“I never imagined leaving in the way I did. It felt abrupt, like I couldn’t say goodbye properly,” Messi admitted. “But my connection to the fans and the club will never fade.”
When asked about a potential reunion with Barcelona, Messi didn’t rule it out. “I always dream of returning to Barcelona in some capacity. Whether as a player or in another role, I want to give back to the club that gave me everything.”
Speculation about Messi’s return has persisted, with some suggesting he could end his career with Barcelona or take on an ambassadorial or coaching role in the future.
Messi’s bond with Barcelona remains unbreakable, and his latest remarks have only deepened his legacy among the club’s supporters. While his journey continues in new territories, his heart and soul unmistakably belong to the city and the club that made him a legend.
