"Campeones! !Visca El Barca! - Lionel Messi"

Barcelona, May 11

Argentina's FIFA World Cup-winning icon Lionel Messi congratulated his former club, FC Barcelona, following their back-to-back La Liga title win, beating arch-rivals Real Madrid 2-0 to seal the title on Sunday night.

Goals in the first half from Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres powered Barcelona to their 29th La Liga title, giving them an unassailable 14-point lead over Real Madrid.

Following Barcelona's title win, Messi, now playing for Inter Miami in Major League Soccer (MLS), posted a story on his Instagram, saying, "Campeones! !Visca El Barca!" (Champions, Long Live Barca!)

After a year-long stint with Barcelona B from 2003-04, in which he scored six goals in 22 matches, Messi made his debut for the senior team of the Catalan giants on November 16, 2003, as a 16-year-old.

In his debut game for Barcelona's senior side, Messi came on as a substitute in the 75th minute against FC Porto. Ever since he broke into the national team, he took very little time in rising to the status of a talismanic striker. He went on to play for the Catalan giants for close to two decades, till 2021, making 520 appearances and scoring 474 goals for them

With Barcelona, he won the La Liga, the top domestic football competition in Spain, in 2004-05, 2005-06, 2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2012-13, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

He won four UEFA Champions League titles with Barcelona in 2005-06, 2008-09, 2010-11, and 2014-15 seasons.

'La Pulga' also lifted 7 Copa Del Rey trophies with Barcelona in 2008-09, 2011-12, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons. Among other honours he won with Barcelona are, three FIFA Club World Cups (2009, 2011 and 2015), three UEFA Super Cup titles (2009, 2011 and 2015) and seven Spanish Super Cup titles (2006, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2018). He won an incredible 34 titles with the club.

With Barcelona, he also completed two season trebles -- a rare footballing feat of winning three major titles in a single season.

It's always great to see legends honouring their former clubs. That 14-point lead is massive! But I wonder if Xavi's tactics or the squad depth did most of the work? Either way, Visca el Barca indeed!

Messi's numbers for Barcelona are just insane. 474 goals in 520 games! 🐐 And he still remembers to congratulate them despite leaving on a bitter note. Shows true sportsmanship. But honestly, I hope they can compete in the Champions League again soon.

So happy for Barcelona. They have rebuilt slowly and smartly after Messi's exit. That 34 trophies stat is incredible. But I'm a bit critical — they need to work on their European form. La Liga is good, but the UCL is the real test. Still, well-deserved! ✨

Messi's post made my day! ❤️ That connection is timeless. Barcelona has a bright future with young players like Gavi and Pedri. But let's be honest — without Messi's legacy, would they have attracted such talent? Respect where it's due. Champion mentality.

Congratulations to Barca! Two La Liga titles in a row is a big achievement. Messi's tribute is beautiful. I just hope the financial troubles don't undo this progress. Xavi has done a fantastic job. Let's see if they can keep it up next season! 👍
