FC Barcelona is preparing a grand return to their iconic home, Spotify Camp Nou, following an extensive renovation — and they want none other than Lionel Messi at the heart of it.

The club officially announced that the newly revamped Camp Nou will reopen with a special match on August 10, 2025, marking the occasion with the traditional Joan Gamper Trophy. But it’s not just about football — it’s about history, emotion, and legacy. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are working behind the scenes to bring back their greatest ever player for one unforgettable night.

The plan? Make Lionel Messi the central figure of the ceremony — a tribute to the man who redefined the club and world football during his two-decade stay in Catalonia. Though currently under contract with Inter Miami in the MLS, and not free to return permanently, the club hopes to secure his presence for the evening — a symbolic farewell at the stadium where he became a legend.

Messi’s legacy at Barcelona is unmatched: 778 appearances, 672 goals, and 35 major trophies. The last time he wore the iconic blaugrana shirt was in 2021, but his shadow still looms large over the club. This event would offer fans a final chance to pay tribute in the arena where it all began — and possibly witness an iconic passing-of-the-torch moment alongside rising superstar Lamine Yamal.
