WHAT HAPPENED?
Barcelona will celebrate their 125th anniversary at a lavish event on November 29, with the likes of Pep Guardiola, Xavi, and Andres Iniesta all expected to attend. In addition, Messi is also set to return to Camp Nou after receiving a personal invite from club president Joan Laporta. Barca have also opened up a competition to find a new anthem that will be released alongside the celebrations, and the Argentine has now heard all three nominees, although he seemed unsure of how to react, barely containing his shy laughter. Fans will decide the winner through a public vote.

WHAT NEXT?
Messi will make an emotional return to the Camp Nou later this month, for the first time since he departed back in 2021. During his time in Spain, the Argentine blossomed into perhaps the best player the world has ever seen, registering 975 goal involvements in 778 games.
