Messi has an open door at Barcelona. As long as I am coach, he will always be welcome, Xavi is clear

Xavi, as Barcelona coach, managed to really lift the Catalan team. However, he would still like to have the star Lionel Messi, now a player of French PSG, in the team. Before Sunday’s El Clásico, he declared that the Argentine always has the door open at Camp Nou.

Barcelona are looking dangerous again. Under Xavi’s leadership, it has managed to break into the top four in the league table and although it cannot catch Real Madrid first, it could at least take second place.

He can confirm his improved form on Sunday night, when the whole world will be watching the famous El Clásico, in which the Catalans will face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

This will be the third El Clásico in which Lionel Messi, the former Barcelona star and currently a player of the French PSG, will not appear. However, there is increasing talk of the Argentine returning to Camp Nou after the season.

Dani Alves, his former teammate and currently a player of the Catalan team, has already expressed his opinion about Messi. Now, the Argentine’s return was questioned at a press conference by coach Xavi himself.

“Messi is the best player of all time, at Barcelona he will always have the door open. As long as I am Barcelona coach, every day he will be welcomed. We owe him a huge compliment,” expressed Xavi.

The Catalan coach is aware that Messi is under contract with PSG, due to which he doesn’t see his return as entirely realistic, however, despite the Argentine’s absence from the team, Xavi is performing superbly.
