“With Neymar, we have known each other for a long time, by heart, since Barcelona,” Messi told TUDN.
“I would’ve prefer to have had the option to appreciate him substantially more in Barcelona.
“Yet, presently I meet him again in Paris, and we are happy to be together. I love playing with him.”
In addition to Neymar, Messi plays alongside several other superstars at PSG.
Kylian Mbappe stayed with PSG after flirting with Real Madrid, and Messi is confident the France star will lead his generation in the game. He said, “Kylian, he’s an alternate player.”
Messi added, “He is a beast who is exceptionally strong, goes from space to space. He’s fast, scores a great deal of goals, is extremely finished, and has been proving himself for years.
Continuing, “In the coming years, he will be among the best, for sure.”
