"Barcelona United," wrote an account on the social network X (former Twitter), when a picture of five former Catalan players reunited in Tokyo, Japan on February 6. Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba are currently playing for Inter Miami, while Iniesta, at the age of 39, after playing for Vissel Kobe, has not retired yet, and is playing for Emirates Club in the UAE.

Messi and Iniesta
Iniesta flew from the UAE to Tokyo, Japan on February 5 to wait for his old friends Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba and Inter Miami to come here to tour and meet the Spanish player's old club, Vissel Kobe.
"The happiness on the faces of Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba when Iniesta spoke was priceless," another account added, commenting on the meeting of these 5 famous players after many years of parting ways with Barcelona.
After causing a stir with fans in Hong Kong for not playing due to injury, Messi returned to training almost normally in the training session on February 6.

"However, Messi's ability to play is still uncertain. The Argentine star will only be able to play part of the match between Inter Miami and Vissel Kobe. In addition, striker Suarez will also return to the main squad to play alongside Robert Taylor and Leonardo Campana or Messi in the Inter Miami attack," said AS (Spain).
Previously, in a press conference upon arriving in Tokyo, Japan, right before the reunion with Iniesta, Messi spoke up to explain that the reason he did not play in Hong Kong was because he felt uncomfortable due to the effects of a muscle injury.
"I really wanted to play, but unfortunately, due to the injury, I had to miss the match. This was a very difficult decision. There were a lot of fans coming to watch the match. But injuries are part of football, and that happened to me in the match in Hong Kong. Hopefully one day we will come back here and I will be on the field to repay the love of the fans," Messi shared.
