Next Friday, Barcelona will celebrate their 125th birthday. The Catalan club was forced on the 29th of November in 1899, and to make the occasion, a celebratory gala is being held, and the expectation is that there will be a plethora of club icons in attendance.
However, it’s now confirmed that Barcelona’s greatest ever player will not be going to the gala. As per Relevo, Lionel Messi has decided to turn down the opportunity to attend, despite being available to do so after Inter Miami were eliminated from the MLS play-offs earlier this month.
After Inter Miami’s defeat at the hands of Atlanta United, Messi was given the opportunity to attend by the Florida-based franchise. However, he has chosen not to go, with the report stating that his uneasy relations with the club’s board being a contributing factor.
Instead, Messi is expected to record a video message that will be broadcast by Barcelona at the event.

Barca Faithfuls!!! Come say your piece and reasoning behind the refusal. Is he bitter about how he left Barca! Could that be the reason?

People just want any excuse to slander him ! He might have his reasons, and if not, is understandable for the way he was treated, if he doesn't wanna be there. Ge loves the Club but doesn't have to agree with everything or everyone there or be there anytime for them.

He won just 3. He was a bench warmer When Barcelona won their 2 UCL
I don't count the ones of Ronaldo at Real Madrid because Real Madrid is a serial winner of Champions League with or without Ronaldo. The whole world knows that Real Madrid won 5 Champion League trophies in a row even when Ronaldo was not yet born. Real Madrid is winning even when Ronaldo is not there. I would expect Mr Champions League to win it for Juventus but he couldn't it.

He brought 4 of that on the table and considering Ronaldo was called Mr Champions League it’s funny that he had only 1 more than Messi😂
