Lionel Messi may no longer be in Barcelona, but he still keeps tabs on his former club. With the MLS season now over, it may take even more interest in Hansi Flick's side, who have had a strong campaign so far.
Speaking at an Adidas event recently (via MD), Messi shared his hope for much success for Barcelona this season.
“I would like to see Barcelona win La Liga, the Copa del Rey and also the Champions League. And in the years that is not possible, that at least compete until the last moment.”
Messi also spoke very brilliantly Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, with whom he has been compared on several occasions in the last 12 months.
“There is a very good generation of young footballers who have many years ahead of them. If you have to stay with someone, because of his age and his future, I heard that they chose Lamine Yamal and of course for me too. It depends on him and many things because this is football, but he is present and without a doubt he has a huge future.”
