Talk about Messi’s night visit to Camp Nou: Laporta missed a good opportunity to repair relations

Messi's sudden visit to Camp Nou showed his deep affection for Barcelona and his desire to return. The night visit surprised everyone, including club president Joan Laporta. "Daily Sports" expressed its opinion that Laporta was obviously unprepared and failed to take this opportunity to repair the broken relationship with Messi.

In public appearances, Laporta stated that his relationship with Messi was normal, but this was inconsistent with the actual situation because the two actually had no contact. He continued to try to de-escalate the situation, but without anyone asking, said he did not regret expelling Messi from Barcelona and would not change his decision now. This is obviously a huge mistake.

Since Messi's departure, the club has struggled in every aspect, refusing to reconnect with the greatest player of all time. Fortunately, a group of promising new-generation players saved the team from falling deeper into trouble. Those transferred players performed mediocrely, but it was these young people who grew up in La Masia's youth training camp in the past ten years who helped the team tide over the difficulties.

If we could maintain cooperation with Messi, a global icon, it would be a huge help to the economic situation, because Messi would still be willing to play for the team at that time. Laporta's stubbornness not only failed to solve Barcelona's problems, but made them worse.

It has been four years since Messi left, and the distance between the two sides seems to be getting farther and farther. Laporta didn't even realize that Messi had entered the pitch alone at night, having once carried Cruyff's spirit as his banner but now refusing to have any contact with the greatest player in history, despite often saying the opposite.
