Messi visited the new Spotify Camp Nou yesterday: "Last night I returned to a place I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you guys made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world. I hope one day I can come back, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I never got to..."

Hope he goes beyond the bullshit from Laporta and comes back to say goodbye to us. Promise him we'll lock Laporta in the basement for that day because so he won't try to be the center of attention again. It's really a shame Messi wouldn't get a proper goodbye because of some corrupt politician.

Laporta's fault was it to promise Messi could stay, since it clearly wasn't possible. He lied for politics. But the reason Messi couldn't stay was Bartomeu leading the club to bankruptcy.
Some would say debt was there before too and you can also blame COVID. All Laporta did is pawn Barca future for immediate cashflow. Future boards will pay for it all.
Having said all that I am not defending Bartomeu.
Both are incompetent so one being "worse" makes little difference.

Without the immediate cashflow, Barca wasn't able to pay even the current salaries and short term debt, which Bartomeu all pushed into Laporta's period, while ran the team down to EL level. And Laporta needed a competitive squad in order to keep generating income and be able to pay the debts.
Laporta inherited a train wreck, that would have rusted and rotten away without immediate cashflow and since we don't have a suger daddy, the only option was levers. Bartomeu even pushed the salaries of the amigos into Laporta's period, the club paid the last of them just this summer, 5 years after Bartomeu was kicked out of the club. Between Laporta's empty promises, these are also the facts.

I know he enjoys his life in Miami playing with old teammates but let's not kid ourselves how fucking generational it would be to see him in Barca jersey again and him actually being able to show he still has it after all these years meanwhile Ronaldo is forced to keep siiuuuing penalties in Sahara.
