His best moment with Barça, his wishes for the club... Leo Messi's unmissable confessions

If there is one authoritative figure to speak about everything related to FC Barcelona, it is the Argentine legend Lionel Andrés Messi. And why wouldn't he? The current '10' of Inter Miami not only spent over 21 years immersed in the dynamics of the Blaugrana team, from his arrival at the institution at the age of 13 until his departure at 34.

Furthermore, he left an indelible mark on Barcelona, with truly impressive and extremely challenging (if not impossible) numbers to match by any other player: he leads historically in matches played (778), goals scored (672), and assists (303). Hence, it is an undeniable reality that the '10' of the 'Albiceleste' has become an authoritative voice to speak on any topic related to Barça, the club of his heart.

Recently, Leo Messi took advantage of an interview with the media outlet 'Mundo Deportivo' to address various topics related to FC Barcelona, leveraging the ideal context of the recent 125th anniversary of the Catalan ensemble. On that occasion, he dedicated heartfelt words and made a true declaration of love for Barcelona.

Historical Moments of FC Barcelona and in His Career as a Culé

Now, this time 'La Pulga' preferred to highlight what, in his opinion, have been the most significant moments in the history of FC Barcelona as an institution, dividing his speech between the periods he was not present and those he experienced as a player of the Barça team. "There were moments that I did not live, but I know they were very important, such as the club's foundation by Gamper or the construction of the Camp Nou. Then, the Cruyff era as a player, the first Champions League at Wembley with him as a coach in 1992...," Messi remarked.

"Of the ones I lived, surely the era of Pep (Guardiola) as a coach, everything that Ronaldinho meant with the 2005-06 Champions League, and the treble with Luis Enrique."

In the same vein, Leo recalled the moment he considers most cherished as a Culé, not so much as a personal achievement but as a collective achievement, an unprecedented milestone in the history of international football. "Honestly, there were many special moments. What I remember the most are the collective titles we achieved: the year of the Sextuple, and also those not-so-good moments where we could turn the situation around. There were many special moments, and I enjoyed them immensely," emphasized the '10'.

His Wishes for the Blaugrana Team

When asked to send a wish for the club at this moment, the Rosario native, once again showing his deep love for Barcelona, expressed his hope that the team can reclaim the prestigious position it deserves for a club of its stature and that, with Hansi Flick, seeks to return to glory. "I hope that the club can return to what it always was. Not only a global reference, which it has never ceased to be, but always striving to win titles until the end of each season. As a Barça player, you can never settle for being second or not winning, because the members and the fans demand the utmost from you," he cautioned.

"Being the best club in the world entails a great demand. I would love to see Barça winning LaLiga, the Copa, and also the Champions League again. And in the years when that's not possible, at least to compete until the last moment."

Leo Messi's Emotional Message to the Barça Fans

Finally, Leo Messi sent an emotional message directly to the Culé fans, those who always supported him, who were eager to see more of the Argentine's football at the Camp Nou, and who hope to see him again wearing the blaugrana shirt to receive a well-deserved tribute after his unfortunate and regrettable departure in 2021. "I miss you a lot, I hope we can see each other again soon and that you feel proud to be part of the best club in the world," he concluded.
