Lionel Messi publicly celebrated FC Barcelona’s clinching of the 2025/26 La Liga title on Sunday, and it has been something everyone is talking about. While the Argentine plays for Inter Miami, it didn't stop him from congratulating his former team, a team where it all started.

Sharing an Instagram story with the message “Campeones! Visca el Barça!” alongside the club’s official champions graphic, Messi showed off his feelings for the club.
