Barcelona fans chanted Lionel Messi’s name in the 10th minute of their El Clasico against Real Madrid.
Lionel Messi is being closely linked with a return to the Catalan giants in the summer as his future at Paris Saint-Germain remains undetermined. Last week, it was reported that Barcelona had “contacted” Messi in an attempt to bring back the greatest legend in the club’s history.
And Barca’s fans showed their special emotions at the Nou Camp. One could hear the Cules singing “Messi, Messi” in the 10th minute of the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against rivals Real Madrid. This is also El Pulga’s shirt number during his time playing at Camp Nou
Barcelona fans chanted Messi’s name during the El Clasico match.
There is no doubting the absolute greatness of El Pulga at Barcelona, who scored 672 goals in 778 games for the Blaugrana, wore the No 10 shirt for 13 years until leaving under emotional circumstances on year 2021.
And the acclaim Leo has received from the Catalan fans is in stark contrast to the deplorable treatment he received from PSG’s ” negɑtive followers” last Sunday.
Messi is not happy at PSG
The name of the 2022 World Cup winner was mocked by PSG fans themselves ahead of their clɑsh with Lyon. Christophe Galtier’s side then went on to lose the game 0-1 as their lead in Ligue 1 was cut to 6 points.
Despite contributing 18 goals and 17 assists in 33 appearances for the French giants this season, Messi looks increasingly likely to leave the club at the end of the season after two years at PSG
Messi was booed by Paris Saint-Germain fans during the weekend’s game against Lyon. But for Barcelona fans, Messi always has a special place.
The striker’s contract, born in 1987, expires this summer and Barcelona quickly contacted his agent.
In the past time, Messi’s future has become a hot topic in the newspapers. The owner of the 7 Golden Balls will expire his contract with PSG at the end of this season, and is considering returning to Barca for the remaining years of his career.
Rafael Yust – Barca vice president – recently confirmed that he is in contact with Messi and his representatives to discuss a potential reunion. So far, though, nothing is clear. Especially the latest, Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia has sent an offer worth 350 million pounds/year to entice Messi to join the club.
In addition, Messi is also the subject of an unbelievable offer of 400 million euros a year from Al Hilal, Saudi Arabia.
Messi’s future is a hot topic
Returning to the semi-final second leg of the King’s Cup, although the fans chanted Messi’s name, on the ground, the Barca players performed a disɑster face. At the end of 90 minutes, Barca was defeated 0-4 by Real Madrid, in which striker Karim Benzema shone brightly with a hat-trick.
In the end, after 2 matches, Barca lost against Real with a total score of 1-4, thereby unable to win tickets to the final. Thus, Xavi’s teachers and students now have only one goal to strive for this season, which is La Liga – where they are leading the table with 71 points, 12 points more than Real Madrid.
