Leo Messi makes his umpteenth declaration of love for Barça: "It is a pride to be part of the club"

Speaking of Leo Messi is undoubtedly talking about an important part of the history of FC Barcelona. To this day, the La Masia graduate and current '10' of Inter Miami, serves as the top goalscorer (672) and assist provider (303) for the Barcelona team, having played the most matches in the blue and garnet kit (778). His numbers suggest that it will be difficult for anyone to match him, at least in the near future. His image is engraved in some of the most heroic feats remembered in the history of the Catalan team.

Leo Messi, despite his departure from Barcelona in 2021 not being the most fitting for the greatest player in the rich history of the Catalan club, he has shown on more than one occasion the love he feels for Barcelona. Although his farewell was bittersweet and lacked a tribute worthy of his lineage, every time he refers to Barça, he does so with words of affection and fondness.

On this occasion, his declaration of love took place in the context of the 125th anniversary of FC Barcelona, which will be celebrated this Friday, November 29. Leo Messi wanted to mark this anniversary with great love and closeness. "Firstly, congratulations on these 125 years. I want to say that it's an honor to be part of the club, to be a Barcelona fan, I was fortunate that God brought me to this place and made me spend my entire life in this wonderful club," noted the '10' of the 'Albiceleste' in statements to the 'Nou Clam' program on '3Cat', hosted by the Commissioner of the 125th anniversary of Barça, David Carabén.

"A special club, different from the rest with the difficulty that this implies in how things are managed in football today". Leo Messi shows his deep love for Barça and culers in an interview on #NouClam3Cat.

Leo Messi and the nostalgia for life in the City of Barcelona

Furthermore, Leo Messi, despite not being able to attend the gala on Friday due to unavoidable commitments, expressed feeling fortunate to have been associated with Barcelona and to continue supporting it like any other fan. "A special club, different from all, with how difficult it is in these times to be a different club, because of how things are handled today in football and how everything has changed. And that today it is represented as we want and like the first team, is a very great pride," emphasized the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.

On the other hand, the Rosario star made it clear how much he misses Barcelona and life in the City of Barcelona, not ruling out a return once he retires from professional football. "And well, I miss the club, the city, the people, the affection a lot... And as always, I hope we continue to do well and can make this club even greater," he concluded.
