Lionel Messi is set for a spectacular return to Barcelona in 2024! He might face none other than arch-rival Cristiano Ronaldo in a one-of-a-kind anniversary match at Camp Nou. Messi left the Blaugrana in 2021 to begin a new chapter with Paris Saint-Germain before moving on to Major League Soccer (MLS) with Inter Miami.

Barcelona has made publicly known their desire to arrange a match in which Lionel Messi can bid farewell to his devoted fan base. Thus giving him the proper send-off that the Camp Nou icon deserves.

Several proposals have been floated, with FootballTransfers currently stating that the greatest tribute match ever is scheduled for November 29, 2024. That date was chosen because it corresponded with the 125th anniversary of the club.

Who will be invited for the Lionel Messi tribute match?

A Barca Legends XI will face a World XI, with some of football’s biggest names expected to take part. Xavi, Andres Iniesta, and Sergio Aguero are just a few of the stars that might return to wear the Barcelona jersey. Barcelona legends such as David Villa, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Luis Enrique are also invited to play.

A game with such a great array of Barcelona stars necessitates a comparable level of competition. As a result, the Catalan club is preparing to ensure this by inviting an extensive number of greats to clash with them.

Former Real Madrid players Sergio Ramos, Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, and Gareth Bale are among those who have been approached. There’s also a chance Cristiano Ronaldo will play if he can get away from Al-Nassr that weekend.

Diego Simeone and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have been invited as well. Premier League legends like John Terry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, and Fernando Torres might all make an appearance. Tickets for Messi’s tribute game, which will be held at the reconstructed Camp Nou, are set to start at €250.
