The celebration of FC Barcelona’s 125th anniversary has been a grand occasion, blending the club’s illustrious history with its current success under Hansi Flick’s management. The events, which included a gala and an important match against Las Palmas, have been marked by nostalgia, pride, and excitement for the club’s future.
However, the question of Lionel Messi’s attendance has been a central talking point. Despite being invited to the gala, Messi was unable to attend due to prior commitments. Nonetheless, he shared a heartfelt video message expressing his gratitude and lifelong connection to the club. His message resonated deeply with fans, encapsulating his enduring bond with Barcelona. He praised the club’s legacy and expressed hope for its continued success, affirming his place as a true icon in its storied history.
As for the match against Las Palmas, there seems to be no indication that Messi will attend in person. Even in his absence, his pre-recorded message and the tributes paid to him at the gala highlight the deep respect and admiration Barcelona fans and the football world hold for him. This milestone anniversary serves not only as a celebration of FC Barcelona’s legacy but also as a reminder of the indelible mark left by players like Messi who have shaped its identity.
