Laliga: Xavi Hopeful For A Lionel Messi Return To Barcelona

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez believes that Lionel Messi return to the club would be fantastic for the Catalans.

Messi moved from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2021 due to some economic issues at the club.

Speaking to the media, Xavi said: “I’m in no doubt that if Messi were to return, he would help us in what we want to achieve with our football. I am in no doubt and I told this to the President. He continues to be a determined footballer, he continues to be a determined footballer, he has the hunger still."

“He’s still a winner, still a leader and he’s different. At Barcelona we’ve not had the same level since we reached at a pinnacle in 2010. Messi’s brings you the talent of being able to play the final pass, he opens doors, he scores goals. In the final third he can provide the difference," he added.
