Laporta Declares Messi’s Return Impossible, Reveals Plans For Historic Farewell Match.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has dismissed the possibility of Lionel Messi returning to play for the Catalan giants, describing the idea as “unrealistic.” However, he revealed plans to honour the Argentine legend with a special tribute match once the club’s stadium renovation is completed.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to Nivo News, Laporta made the remarks during an interview with Catalunya Radio, where he explained that speculating about Messi’s potential comeback would be unfair and impractical. He acknowledged that the circumstances surrounding Messi’s exit from Barcelona in 2021 were far from ideal, as financial constraints prevented the club from renewing his contract.
Messi, who now plays for Inter Miami after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, recently paid a surprise visit to the Nou Camp and expressed his desire to return “not just to say goodbye as a player.” His current deal with the Major League Soccer club runs until 2028.
Despite ruling out a professional reunion, Laporta confirmed that the club is committed to giving Messi the grand farewell he deserves. He disclosed that Barcelona is planning a tribute match for the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner once the renovated Nou Camp reopens.
“It would be fitting for him to receive the greatest tribute in the world, and there’s no better place for it than here, before 105,000 fans,” Laporta stated.
Messi’s legacy at Barcelona remains unmatched. The Argentine forward scored 672 goals in 778 appearances, leading the team to 10 La Liga titles, four UEFA Champions League victories, and several other major trophies during his illustrious career.

2027 Power Struggle: Nwebonyi Rubbishes Rumors Of Single-Term Zoning For Ebonyi North.
Senator Onyekachi Nwebonyi, the Deputy Chief Whip of the Senate, has rejected assertions that he is breaching a zoning agreement that would supposedly limit Ebonyi North senators to one term. Addressing claims from his APGA challenger, Chief Chikadoli Ojimba, who recently called for him to step down, Senator Nwebonyi stated there is no constitutional or political mandate requiring him to abandon his 2027 reelection bid.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking to the press in Abakaliki on Sunday, the Senator pointed to the precedent set by former Governor Sam Egwu, who successfully served two terms in the Senate, to argue that the alleged one-term policy lacks binding authority. Highlighting his own constituency initiatives and record, Nwebonyi stated he faces no serious competition for his seat and emphasized that public service should be defined by sacrifice rather than personal gain.
Additionally, the Senator expressed strong support for the APC’s prospects in Ebonyi State and lauded President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing infrastructure development in the South-East. He further praised Governor Francis Nwifuru as a unifying leader, dismissing rumors of friction within the Izzi clan and calling on stakeholders to prioritize the state’s collective development over divisive politics.

On Sunday, May 31, 2026, thousands of Arsenal fans flooded the streets of north London to celebrate the club’s first Premier League title since 2004, successfully shifting the focus from their Champions League final loss the previous day. Adorned in red and white, supporters lined the route through Islington, waving flags and lighting flares as an open-top bus parade moved through the area.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The festivities, which began after 2 p.m. at the Emirates Stadium, wound through Highbury, Canonbury, and Upper Street before concluding back at the stadium. This parade honored a league victory confirmed on May 19, ending a 22-year championship drought. During the event, fans were seen climbing trees and rooftops to see Mikel Arteta’s squad as the players showcased the Premier League trophy. The procession included four buses, one of which carried the Arsenal Women’s team, winners of the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup this past February.
This celebration followed a heartbreaking 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday, where Arsenal ultimately fell in a penalty shootout after misses by Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes. Despite the European defeat, the Premier League title held immense significance for the team, coming after three consecutive seasons as runners-up. Reflecting on the massive turnout, journalist Matt Graveling described the celebration as the largest sporting event he had witnessed in his 15-year career.
