Khaberni - A great disappointment prevailed among Barcelona fans on the historic day of the team's return to the renovated "Spotify Camp Nou", where the absence of the team's legendary Argentine star Lionel Messi from the official opening of the stadium in the match against Athletic Bilbao in "La Liga" was confirmed.
Speculations had significantly risen regarding the possibility of the Inter Miami player participating in this event, which represents a milestone in the club's history, especially after the team's absence from its stronghold for more than 900 days.
Despite the unofficial public calls and wishes for the "legend" to attend the match, Messi did not appear among the official invitees, or among the personalities who attended the main stand, which caused sadness among fans who were hoping to see any "trace" of their historic star during the celebratory moments.
Thus, the curtain comes down on the questions of the past days, and the event is held with the attendance of 45,401 fans.
However, there is still hope among the fans and management that Leo will be able to attend when the stadium is fully completed with its total seating capacity of 105,000 fans in the upcoming stages.
