Before being reunited for a further two years at Paris Saint-Germain, the South American duo played together for four years at Barcelona. When asked if there was a chance they may spend a third period together, Neymar gave supporters of a reunion some optimism.
When asked by ESPN whether he could play with the Argentine phenom once more in the future while at the Bahrain Grand Prix, Neymar responded, “I hope we do play together again.” Leo is a really kind guy. Everyone in football is familiar with him. I believe he is ecstatic. I’m delighted too if he is.”
Before winning Ligue 1 in a row at PSG, Messi and Neymar won two La Liga titles and two Champions League crowns at Camp Nou. After that, Messi departed to join Inter Miami of the Major League Soccer, and Neymar secured a big contract to join Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia.
Neymar is expected to miss Brazil’s summer Copa America due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury that he suffered shortly after joining the Saudi Pro League. He is now rehabilitating from the injury. Messi, on the other hand, has had a strong start to the new Major League Soccer season, which was reinforced by his team’s convincing victory over Orlando City on Saturday.
