Barcelona Legend Lionrel Messi has chosen his two favorite memories from his time with the blaugrana, which provided a large chunk of the titles that make him the most decorated footballer in history. The 38-year-old also noted that he is still following the club as a supporter.
Messi made headlines on Monday morning in Catalonia after returning to the Nou camp under the cover of darkness, without the knowledge of the club. The interview made by the game took place two weeks before messi’s return to Barcelona, and he spoke of his desire to return to the city at some point. Both the city and the club are full of messi nostalgia.
Two favorite memories of Messi at Barcelona
During the interview, Messi spoke about his love for his time at Barcelona, and the love he received for the striker. Asked if there was one memory that made him, Messi was able to narrow it down to two.
“It’s hard to choose just one. Thank God I’m lucky enough to hear so many times. But when we talk about something very important, and when we talk about Luis Enrique again.”
‘I have too many things to be proud of’ – Messi
Messi has noted that while football is obviously a big part of his time at Barcelona, the city represents a big part of his life.
“Being a part of this club, having arrived as a child and grown up and spent my whole life in Barcelona, I am very happy to be born, because I live in the club, not only in the club but also in them.”

Messi still follows Barcelona as a fan
AT MINIMI MIAMI, Messi was surrounded by a group of his loyal teammates at the Camp Nou, with Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba all joining the club after him. Not to mention Manager Javier Mascherano, who played for Messi in Argentina and Barcelona. The blaugrana is a common area of discussion, and Messi has confirmed that he is still following the club as a fan.
“Yes, yes, it’s obvious, it’s obvious, and more so there are several of us close now and we always talk about all the situations that happen in the club, the results and the game.”
Anything Messi does makes headlines, but his star-studded visit has also sparked talk of a comeback in one form or another. The question mark of whether Barcelona fans will ever get to see Messi play at Camp Nou remains in the air.
