Messi's Secret Camp Nou Stop: Laporta Unveils the Visit During a La Liga Clash

Messi's Camp Nou Visit Revealed

Barcelona president Joan Laporta outlined details of Lionel Messi's Camp Nou visit, kept secret while the team were in the middle of a La Liga match.

He answered a question from Catalan journalist Jordi Basté about whether Barcelona approved Messi's visit, and he said, of course we did.

He added Messi did not contact him or anyone in management to arrange the visit, and security guards only saw a light approach as Messi stepped from the car and requested entry.

Laporta said security teams coordinated with the liaison, who told them Messi was allowed to enter Camp Nou and that they had contacted him to confirm.

Punchline: If Messi can slip into Camp Nou under lights, maybe my commute can too. Meanwhile, my gym membership remains the real mystery.

Punchline 2: If security let Messi enter, perhaps they should grant me access to the kitchen at halftime. A man can dream.
