Lionel Messi is one of the greatest footballers of all time and has played in emblematic stadiums during his career. The Argentinian has checked football matches since 2004, with Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and now Inter Miami, with fans from around the world flowing to stadiums to watch the striker in action.
The eight time the winner of Ballon d’Or won four titles of the Champions League with Barcelona and has played in many countries across Europe, colliding with noisy crowds during this period.
Interesting, Messi In fact, chose a Scottish giant as “the best atmosphere in Europe”, the Argentine icon playing both Celtic Park and Ibrox during his time as a Barcelona player.

In 2007, Messi played in a draw of the group phase of the Champions 0-0 League with Rangers In his only visit to Ibrox.
He behaved much better on the other side of Glasgow CelticHowever, scoring hinds for victories in 2008 and 2016, while showing the match sheet in a 2-1 defeat in 2012.
He clashed against Fraser Forster while the hoops beat Barcelona, with Messi later admitting that he was shocked by displaying the goalkeeper that evening.
“The performance of Fraser Forster against us spoke for a long time. There was a match in Scotland when he was not human, it was the best goal of goalkeeper I saw. When Victor Valdes said that he was leaving Barcelona, we even talked about playing him here.”
Messi decides between Celtics and Rangers for the best atmosphere
Speak in 2015, Messi was invited to appoint the best stadium atmosphere He has already lived as a player. He named Celtic on the Rangers, describing Parkhead as “special”, “a difficult place to follow” and “the best” in Europe.
“The matches against Celtic were special and I want to remember. Celtic Park is a difficult place to go. It is never easy to get a result there. We know that we would get a difficult match if we would suck them in the Champions League, but all the people involved in these Barcelona games against Celtic Vey wanted to play it again.
“It is the best atmosphere in Europe and we all want to experience it again.”
Messi, who is now with Inter Miami in the United States of America, could never play Parkhead again, but his three visits to Glasgow have certainly left a brand on one of the best footballers to have ever played the game.
