"I have said repeatedly that we would be extremely happy to honour him. He is the best player in history, and he knows that,"
"We have always talked about holding this honour with the reopening of the Camp Nou stadium, and we are very excited about that,"
Lionel Messi left Barcelona more than four years ago after contract talks collapsed. Club president Joan Laporta remains determined to honour Messi with a farewell match at Camp Nou. The Camp Nou redevelopment forced Barcelona to stage many matches at Montjuic, delaying any farewell plans. The club intends to hold the honour when Camp Nou reopens, linking the farewell to the stadium’s reopening. Laporta called Messi the best player in history and said the club would be extremely happy to honour him. Barcelona announced key partnerships and new ventures at its Ordinary General Assembly as preparations continue for the return to Camp Nou.
