In 2024, FC Barcelona celebrates its 125th anniversary. Founded on November 29, 1899, the Catalan club will hold a festive evening on that date this year to mark this special milestone.
The plan is to have many of Barcelona’s legendary players in attendance for the celebration. However, the club’s greatest player will be notably absent from the event.
Details: According to Sport, Lionel Messi will not be able to attend Barcelona’s anniversary celebration as he will be playing for Inter Miami in the MLS playoffs at that time.
Inter Miami is expected to face either Orlando City or Charlotte FC on the weekend of Barcelona’s gala night, leaving the club disappointed but unable to change the situation.
Reminder: The legendary Argentine recently admitted that he’s still uncertain about what lies ahead for him after his playing career ends.
The 37-year-old has scored 20 goals and provided 11 assists in 20 MLS matches this season.
