"Daily Sports" talked about the details of Messi's night visit to Camp Nou. Barcelona did not know about Messi's visit in advance, and Messi stayed in a hotel that could see Camp Nou.

Western media revealed that Barcelona did not know about Messi's visit in advance. Messi arrived in Barcelona from Miami yesterday on a private jet with De Paul. They took advantage of Monday's trip to Alicante to report to the Argentinian national team, arriving a day early.

Messi’s trip to Barcelona is full of details. Although he has a home in Castelldefels, he chose to stay at the Princess Sofia Hotel with his friend Pepe Costa and was given a room with a view of the Camp Nou. He was spotted by only four or five fans and left through the hotel's main entrance instead of using the celebrity exit on the minus 2 floor.

In the evening, Messi and DePaul dined at an iconic restaurant frequented by players. He then headed to the Nou Camp, where he got out of the car to watch the renovation work. There, he happened to meet a fan and took a friendly photo with him. This is Messi's first return to Camp Nou since leaving in the summer of 2021. He also entered the court and stepped onto the lawn.

Now, Messi and De Paul have flown to Alicante to join the Argentina national team training camp.
