FC Barcelona is currently celebrating 125 years with events that unite former and present stars of their club – fans are abuzz over whether Lionel Messi will make an appearance during these commemorative activities?
As part of their celebrations, Barcelona hosted a gala to mark this historic event, with current and former players joining former ones to commemorate this historic date. A highlight was a match against Las Palmas against which fans hope Messi may attend after prior commitments prevented his attendance; leaving fans hoping he will attend their 125th Anniversary Game instead.
Reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest that Messi’s busy schedule made it impossible for him to attend the gala, but he was able to participate in spirit by sending a pre-recorded video message that was played during the event. The anticipation now turns to whether Messi will be present for the match against Las Palmas at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. Unfortunately, there has been no indication that Messi will attend this match either, likely due to the same previous engagements.
However, FC Barcelona supporters should not feel disheartened. Messi’s heartfelt video message conveyed his congratulations and affection for the club on its 125th anniversary, underlining his everlasting connection with Barca and its fans.

Messi’s message to FC Barcelona at its 125-year celebration was an elegant reminder of his strong ties, starting off by offering his congratulations for its achievements over these past 125 years and sharing his hope that its success would continue into its second century.
