Messi hints at possible comeback after emotional return to Camp Nou


Lionel Messi says he has visited the newly renovated Camp Nou and hopes to one day return to the iconic stadium to finally bid supporters the farewell he never got to give.

 

The Argentina and Barcelona legend, now 38, left the club in 2021 amid Barca’s severe financial crisis, moving first to Paris Saint-Germain before joining Inter Miami two years later.

 

“Last night I returned to a place I deeply miss. A place where I was immensely happy, where you made me feel a thousand times like the happiest person in the world,” Messi wrote on Instagram.


He added that he still hopes to come back in the future, not just as a visitor but to receive the proper goodbye he was denied when he departed unexpectedly in 2021.

 

Messi remains adored in Barcelona, where he spent more than two decades and became the club’s all-time top scorer. His message comes just days after scoring twice for Inter Miami on Saturday to help his team advance in the MLS Cup play-offs.

TV personality Ray J says he wanted Diddy 'not guilty' on all counts but feels his release is coming soon

Image
Ray J has publicly defended music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, disputing the federal charges recently levelled against him and downplaying the seriousness of the allegations.    Appearing on "TMZ Live" on Wednesday, July 2, the singer and entrepreneur stated that Diddy's actions were part of consensual adult encounters and should not warrant prison time.   "Diddy was entangled in consensual freak-offs and should NOT be punished by jail time," Ray J insisted, pushing back against prosecutors who have described Diddy as a violent threat to society. Despite Ray J’s optimism that Diddy would be released and flying to Miami by the end of the day, a judge later denied bail. Diddy will remain in custody until his sentencing hearing in October.   Ray J suggested the high-profile trial should be seen as a "lesson learned" but not a deterrent for others engaged in similar behavior, particularly in drug-fueled interactions with sex workers.

Jeff Bezos protest banner unveiled in Venice: ahead of wedding to Lauren Sanchez

Image
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s upcoming wedding in Venice is sparking controversy as locals express their frustration over the event’s impact on the city.   A massive 65-by-65-foot banner was unveiled in Venice’s famous St. Mark’s Square, demanding that Bezos pay more taxes, especially given the scale of the wedding and the city’s rental. The banner was put up by the campaign group Everyone Hates Elon in partnership with Greenpeace, sending a clear message that has captured public attention.   The group criticized Bezos, the world’s third-richest man with a net worth of $220 billion, for shutting down large parts of Venice for the wedding. They called it "ridiculous" that he can hold such an event while the Italian government struggles to finance public services.   In a statement, a spokesperson said, “While ordinary people struggle to pay the bills, there are more billionaires than ever before. These two things are obviously connected; they’re ge...

Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyers expect him to get a two-year prison sentence following his conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in pr0stitution, which was handed down on Wednesday, July 2.   The sentence is much less than the 51 to 63 months sentence that prosecutors have recommended.   The two sides addressed Combs' potential sentence in separate letters to the judge overseeing the case. Combs has already spent 10 months in custody.   Combs was acquitted on Wednesday morning of the more serious charges of s£x trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.   He was accused of sex trafficking two of his former girlfriends, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, and a woman who testified under the pseudonym "Jane" and of forcing them to participate in drug-fueled s£x sessions with male escorts that he called "freak offs" or "hotel nights."
