2024 marks the 125th anniversary of the creation of FC Barcelona. A birthday that Leo Messi is not going to attend.
Specifically, the club was founded on November 29, 1899, and on this date this year, a celebratory gala will be held to mark the special occasion.
The idea is that many FC Barcelona legends will be present for the celebrations, and many eyes will be on those who attend. However, the club’s greatest player of all time will not be in the game.
Messi absent from Barça gala
As reported by Sport, Lionel Messi will not be able to come to Barcelona for the celebrations, as he is expected to play for Inter Miami at that time – MLS is currently in the play-off phase.
Inter Miami will face Atlanta United next weekend, but they are expected to face Orlando City or Charlotte FC on the weekend of FC Barcelona’s anniversary gala. It’s disappointing for the club, but there is nothing the Catalan leaders can do.
