Forever with Barça. Messi made a beautiful gesture to his hometown club

The legendary Lionel Messi has once again affirmed that Barcelona will always be the paramount club in his life.

The Argentine forward has bequeathed his eighth Ballon d'Or to the club's museum, an accolade he received in the year 2023.

Notably, Messi earned all seven preceding Ballon d'Or awards during his tenure as a Barcelona player. However, the eighth Ballon d'Or was conferred upon him during his tenure with Inter Miami, following a two-year stint with PSG.

Messi stands as the all-time leading scorer in the history of Barcelona. Across 778 matches for the club, he has netted 672 goals and provided 303 assists.

It is noteworthy that on the night of February 21-22, it is precisely with the match of Messi's team that the new MLS season commences.
