Lionel Messi Photobombs Barcelona Couple Video: A romantic evening in Barcelona quickly turned into a once-in-a-lifetime memory for one couple and the internet can’t stop talking about it. What started as a sweet date night, flowers, and a couple’s video capturing their love suddenly got an unexpected twist: a casual photobomb by none other than Lionel Messi. The clip shows the couple enjoying their moment when the man suddenly notices someone walking by. Curious, the woman follows his gaze and there he is, the GOAT himself, Lionel Messi, walking in the background.
The couple freezes for a second, caught between awe and disbelief, as the legendary footballer quietly walks away. Messi had recently returned to the stadium, sharing an emotional note with fans: “Last night I returned to a place I miss with my soul. A place where I was immensely happy, where you guys made me feel a thousand times the happiest person in the world. I hope one day I can come back, and not just to say goodbye as a player, as I never got to.”
