Unifying the Community Voice for Messi's Return

About the Project

This initiative originated as a personal project of one FC Barcelona fan. I am not an organization or a marketing agency – I am an ordinary supporter of the club who believes in the power of a unified voice.

The goal of this petition is to create a platform where all the fragmented voices of fans worldwide can unite into one clear expression. Individual contributions are valuable, but a collective voice has a much greater impact.

This petition represents more than just a list of signatures. It is a manifesto of shared belief and proof of the depth of the relationship between the fan community and FC Barcelona.

Reason for the Petition's Creation

Lionel Messi represents more than an exceptional athlete. He is a symbol of an era that defined the identity of FC Barcelona in modern history. His departure in 2021 was not a standard termination of employment – it was an unfulfilled farewell for the greatest legend in the club's history.

For 672 goals, 21 trophies, and countless moments of brilliance, he deserved a dignified farewell with the fan base. This opportunity was not provided to him.

Our intention is to demonstrate the existence of a significant community of supporters who consider this situation an unfinished chapter worthy of resolution – in a manner that corresponds to Lionel Messi's status and contribution to the club.

Message to the FC Barcelona Board

Dear FC Barcelona Board,

This petition is not a critique of the current leadership or a questioning of your decisions. It is an expression of the collective conviction of the fan base across continents.

We ask you to take into account the quantifiable interest of the fan community in the club's history and values. The number of signatures represents measurable evidence of the depth of this interest.

The circumstances of Lionel Messi's departure did not correspond to his contribution to the club, nor to the values that FC Barcelona represents. There is a widely shared will to address this situation.

These are not unrealistic demands. This is a plea for a symbolic gesture – whether in the form of a farewell match, a short-term return, or an official ceremony – that would demonstrate the club's respect for its most significant personalities.

We believe in your willingness to take this expression from the fan community seriously and consider options for a dignified conclusion to this chapter.

The Power of an Organized Voice

In the current environment, the collective expression of the fan community holds significant value – provided it is coordinated and quantifiable. This petition serves as a tool to demonstrate the following facts:

  • • The fan community is not a passive consumer but an active stakeholder with a legitimate right to express themselves.
  • • History and traditions represent a value worthy of preservation and respect through formal means.
  • • An initiative based on conviction has the potential to open dialogue, even if the outcome is not guaranteed.

Project Methodology

As an individual initiative, this project operates with limited resources but a clear strategy:

  1. Systematic aggregation of signatures from fans globally.

  3. Distribution of the petition through digital platforms and fan communities.
