No Return for Messi, Barcelona Prez Wants Tribute Match

Barcelona President Joan Laporta has put to rest speculation about Lionel Messi's potential return to the club, calling it "unrealistic". Instead, Laporta wants to give Messi a grand tribute match at the Camp Nou stadium once renovations are complete. The stadium is expected to have a capacity of 105,000 fans, and Laporta believes it would be fitting to give Messi the best tribute in the world.

Messi recently made a surprise visit to the Camp Nou, expressing his desire to return to the stadium "not just to say goodbye as a player". Laporta acknowledged the emotional connection between Messi and the club, describing the visit as a "spontaneous" display of love for Barcelona.

- *Messi's Return:* Deemed "unrealistic" by Laporta due to Messi's current contract with Inter Miami until 2028
- *Tribute Match:* Planned for the renovated Camp Nou, with a capacity of 105,000 fans
- *Messi's Legacy:* Holds numerous records with 672 goals in 778 appearances, 10 La Liga titles, and 4 Champions League trophies

Laporta emphasized that the focus should be on celebrating Messi's remarkable career rather than speculating about a potential return.¹ ²
