Hansi Flick comments on a possible return to Barcelona

Rumours have been growing lately about a potential return of Lionel Messi to Camp Nou, and the Barcelona head coach has now been asked about it.

Details: According to details from his pre-match press conference, Hansi Flick was questioned about Messi’s possible comeback. The German coach said that if such a scenario ever materialises, it will not be during his own tenure in Catalonia.

Quote: “Messi is the best player of the last ten years, if not more — I’ve always enjoyed watching him play. His contract runs until 2028, and mine until 2027, so any coaching situation involving him does not depend on me,” Flick noted.

Messi represented Barcelona from 2004 to 2021 and remains the club’s all-time leading scorer with 672 goals in 778 matches.

Reminder: Barcelona president Joan Laporta stated that legendary forward Lionel Messi deserves his own statue at the renovated Camp Nou.
