"For a figure like Lionel Messi to arrive in Barcelona, make his way through the city and enter the Spotify Camp Nou in the middle of the night without anyone in the city batting an eye sounds to be an impossible task, especially given the sensational fan following he has. Yet, that was precisely what the club legend did last night as he arrived in Barcelona and entered the field at the stadium he has graced for years to take a first-hand look at the renovations, the new look of the stadium and relive his memories."
"As per Messi's close circle, it was the player's personal desire and sudden plan to visit the club's historic stadium, and he entered the premises just before midnight on Sunday night without contacting anyone from the club to authorise or permit his entry. No contact was made to even inform them of such an event, for it was a plan that developed on the spot while Messi was on his way to Alicante."
Lionel Messi arrived in Barcelona at night and entered the Spotify Camp Nou to inspect the stadium's renovations and new look and to relive memories. Media and club offices were unaware of the arrival, and a social media post created perplexity about how he entered quietly. Two competing accounts emerged: Messi's entourage says the visit was an unplanned personal decision and that he entered just before midnight without contacting the club. Barcelona says Messi requested entry via Limak security, which forwarded the request and received immediate club permission because Messi is always welcome.
