It has been three years since Lionel Messi left Barcelona against his will. Since then, the Argentine has played for Paris Saint-Germain and later joined Inter Miami, a destination that seems to be a popular choice for former Blaugrana players.

Despite the time that has passed and the distance between him and the club, it seems he still holds a special place in his heart.

Evidence of this is a photo circulating on social media that has gone viral, showing Messi with a mate cup case featuring the crests of both Barcelona and the Argentine national team.

It’s worth remembering that Barcelona was where Messi practically grew as a footballer and spent the majority of his career. This is just a detail that confirms his love for the club where he has expressed a desire to finish his career.
