Joan Laporta, president of Barcelona, is planning a special event to honor club legend Lionel Messi, who departed the club more than four years ago and is unlikely to return as a professional player for his former team.Messi's departure left a significant impact, as he did not receive a tribute befitting his status as the greatest player in the club's history. Laporta aims to rectify this by organizing a match at the "New Camp Nou" stadium.The Barcelona president stated on the matter: "I would like the stadium to be full with 105,000 spectators. That would be a great way to inaugurate it, and a farewell match for Messi. It will all depend on his willingness, and it won't be before the end of 2026. I don't know who the president will be then, but if it's me, I would be happy to do it."
