Lionel Messi Points to Barcelona’s Future with His Successor Pick

Lionel Messi had an impressive time at the FC Barcelona club, playing for the team in multiple competitions. He has been a part of their main squad for almost 21 years but left the team in 2021, which was definitely unexpected to him and the fans. Although the relations between Lionel Messi and the team were strained, these issues seem to be calm now.

Recently, Lionel Messi was also invited to the club anniversary of FC Barcelona, which was also the club's 125th anniversary. He was not able to attend the same due to some unknown reasons but he further sent a heartfelt message to the team. Messi also talked about his desire to watch the team regain its momentum and gain back the top spot.

Messi said,“There is a very talented generation of young footballers with many years ahead of them. If I had to choose one, because of his age and future potential, I’ve heard people mention Lamine Yamal, and I absolutely agree. It depends on him and various factors, as football can be unpredictable, but he is already making an impact in the present and undoubtedly has a huge future ahead.”
