What a beautiful renewal of cooperation it would be if Lionel Messi was still a Barcelona player. Unfortunately for the fans of that connection, the Argentine star is at PSG, while Xavi has now had his first game as head coach of the Catalan giant.
In their first game under the new coach, Barcelona managed to win the Catalan derby 1: 0 against Espanyol.
Messi is convinced that if anyone is going to lift his former club, it is his former teammate.
“Xavi is a coach who knows a lot and knows the club’s environment perfectly. He is a very important person for young players. I have no doubts that Barcelona will grow a lot under his leadership,” Messi was quoted as saying in an interview with Marca.
But beyond that, the Argentine star also commented on his possible return to Camp Nou.
“I have always said that I will return to Barcelona. I want to help the club as much as I can. If I can help the way I want to, I would like to come back,” Messi expressed.
