Representatives of Barcelona were surprised by former player Lionel Messi's unexpected visit to Camp Nou stadium. The footballer had earlier shared photos taken at the stadium on his social media accounts.
According to Barcelona sources cited by Sport.es, no one was informed about Messi's visit to the stadium. The Argentine player's post quickly spread on social media and news outlets, leaving the club's management skeptical about the news at first.
How Messi managed to enter the stadium remains unclear. The club is currently investigating who might have assisted him during this visit.
Sources close to the player confirmed that the Argentine made this visit independently without coordinating with the club. It was revealed that Messi visited Camp Nou on the evening of November 9.
He is set to join the Argentina national team for a friendly match against Angola, scheduled to take place in Spain on November 14.
