FC Barcelona hopes to have Leo Messi in the 125th anniversary celebrations

The FC Barcelona board hopes to have Leo Messi and the main culer legends during the celebration of the club's 125th anniversary. The main date will be next November 29, but the club will carry out a series of special activities during the last week of the month, including an extraordinary gala with a venue to be defined. In principle, Barça hoped to carry out all these activities at the Spotify Camp Nou, but delays in the works have completely ruled out this possibility.

According to 'Relevo', the board will send a series of letters to the personalities invited to the gala, starting with Messi. The idea is to have the presence of the greatest number of footballers and coaches who have made history with the Barça shirt and, in the case of those who cannot travel to Catalonia, to record an emotional message to show at the event.

Inter Miami's schedule in November complicates Leo Messi's agenda

However, 'La Pulga' may find it very difficult to return to Catalonia at the end of November if Inter Miami goes far in the final phase of Major League Soccer (MLS). That month, the league will hold its play offs, which include the conference semifinals, the conference final and the MLS Cup final (all in a single game). The team led by Gerardo 'Tata' Martino has already secured its presence in the conference 'semi', as leader of the Eastern zone.

In addition, Leo has two pending matches with Argentina (against Paraguay and Peru) during the double FIFA date in November, both corresponding to the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers. The captain of the 'albiceleste' missed the September doubleheader due to injury and should reappear next week in the duel against Venezuela. Thus, Messi's return to Barça could be reduced to a video of the Rosario congratulating the club on its 125th anniversary, although the player and the board will do everything possible to ensure that this congratulation is 'in situ'.
