Barca fans will always have a stone in their shoe over how Lionel Messi's time at the club ended
However, Messi will not allow his strained relationship with the current management to impact the club's 125th anniversary.
After current president Joan Laporta publicly promised to keep Messi at the club, then retracted the day the contract was signed, the Argentine and his family held it against him. When Laporta also tried to bring him back to the club, he was unable to present a firm contract offer two years later.

Some have wondered whether this tension could impact Messi's relationship with the club as a whole, but Messi will be present at the Blaugrana's 125th anniversary this month if he is invited. According to Relevo, Messi is ready to do whatever the club asks of him for the celebrations on November 29, at the Liceu, where the celebrations will take place.
For some time there has been talk of a friendly match between Inter Miami and FC Barcelona, which would allow Blaugranas supporters to see it one last time. Messi never got the chance to say goodbye to the fans who chanted his name every weekend for a decade and a half, given the way he unexpectedly left. However, so far the friendly has not been arranged, although Barcelona may be waiting for their return to the Camp Nou.
