The name Messi has been immortalized at Newell's stadium

The Argentine club Newell's Old Boys paid tribute to one of its greatest graduates in history. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

On one side of the stadium, the name of Lionel Messi and his famous number 10 were installed. Photos taken from the updated stadium were shared on social media with the caption "Our home.

The home of football history." Although Messi has never played for the main team of Newell's Old Boys, it was in this club's academy that his legendary career began. At the age of 13, Lionel Messi left his hometown in Argentina to join the Barselona academy, where he later became recognized as a symbol of the era. Now, although the 38-year-old forward plays for Inter Miami, he has not severed ties with his homeland and beloved club.

This gesture is not just about decorating the stands, but signifies that even though Messi has not worn the main team's jersey, his legacy deserves respect.
