It’s Clasico night this Wednesday in Spain: FC Barcelona receives Real Madrid in the semi-final return of the Spanish Cup after Barça’s victory in the first leg (1-0). In a boiling Camp Nou, after a kick-off given by Alex Roca Campillo, the first person to have finished a marathon with such a heavy handicap, while the score is still zero and the clock shows 10 minutes of game, the event descends from the stands: the 70,000 supporters of FC Barcelona suddenly begin to sing “Messi, Messi, Messi…” Why? Because they no longer hide their desire to see the Argentinian world champion once again tread the huge Catalan stadium.
Barca Socios want Lionel Messi to come home. They know that he is no longer in the odor of sanctity of Paris and that the Catalan leaders are considering all the means to bring him back. They also know that at the Parc des Princes, the prodigy is no longer necessarily at the party. So they say it: “Messi, come back home…” They had warned during the day on social networks to show their attachment to the world champion. A promise therefore kept when the stopwatch showed a 10 like the Argentinian’s jersey number during his long stay at Barça. Did Lionel Messi hear the chants of the fans? If he didn’t, we’ll tell him very soon. Will he listen to the message? Only he knows, for now. But he at least knows that if he wants to come back, he’s welcome.
