Messi shares his thoughts on reuniting with Neymar at the World Cup

In a recent interview with Pollo Alvarez, Lionel Messi expressed his desire to see former Barcelona teammate Neymar represent Brazil at the upcoming World Cup. Messi emphasized that only the best players should participate in the tournament, stating that Neymar unquestionably belongs in that elite category.

Messi remarked on Neymar’s significance, saying,

“I can’t be completely objective, because he’s my friend. Of course, I would really love to see him go and for everything to work out for him, because he deserves it.

At World Cups, we always want to see the best players there, and Ney, as long as he’s fit, will always be one of them.”

The enduring legacy of Messi and Neymar, who played together at Barcelona from 2013 to 2021 and later reunited at Paris Saint-Germain, is viewed as one of the most dazzling and productive partnerships in football history.
