The player, who trained at La Masia, made his debut in the 71st minute as a substitute for Fernando Navarro at the direction of coach Rijkaard. Today, 22 years later, Barcelona recalls that moment in several publications on social networks, with a clear message: &#8220;Here the legend began. The first day Messi joined the Bar\u00e7a first team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ue-c-article__summary\">\n<figure class=\"ue-c-article__media ue-c-article__media--video  video-dailymotion\"><figcaption class=\"ue-c-article__media-caption\" itemprop=\"description\">\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__media-description\">Lionel Messi reminds us who is king with outrageous golasso during Argentina training<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Catalan club posted a publication with several videos of the Argentine player, including his goals, great moments, titles and his first remarks after the friendly. Leo Messi said: &#8220;Everything was very good because we had a lot of experienced players like Luis Enrique, Xavi and Marquez, and it was very good to play with them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The anniversary comes at the end of a week in which the Argentine was at the center of Barcelona news. On Monday, the Argentine player&#8217;s night visit to the Spotify Camp Nou was revealed, and Barcelona learned about it after seeing photos published on the footballer&#8217;s social networks. However, the club has made it clear that the Argentine is always welcome at the Les Colts Stadium. We also heard from the player himself and Joan Laporta.<\/p>\n<p>The president said a few days ago that he wants the Messi tribute match to take place in full at the Spotify Camp Nou, but also made it clear that he does not regret what happened to the Argentine in the summer of 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/barcelona\/2025\/11\/16\/691a07f1ca4741ff6c8b4573.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u25cbOn 16 November 2003, a very young player, Leo Messi, aged just 16, made his first-team debut in a friendly against Porto at the inauguration of the Estadio do Drag\u00f3n.
