Summary: Real Madrid - Barcelona 1:0 (Sport1)
The days pass, and the rumors about a possible return of Lionel Messi to Barcelona are only increasing.
The one who addressed them now is Jordi Alba, the flea's good friend, who was interviewed in Spain and said: "We didn't talk about it, because he has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain, but I would like him to come back. It will be good for him and good for Barca. In the first year He didn't do well in Paris, it was hard for him to acclimate to life. Now he is much better there."
On the flea's departure from his youth team, the left back said: "I felt terrible, it was a bad day. I spoke to him that morning, he told me he was going to stay in Barcelona. I was with my wife at home and I saw the news. I was in shock for two minutes, I couldn't believe it. We had a great relationship, I just couldn't believe he was leaving. I called him and he told me it was impossible to stay, he didn't explain. Only he knows the truth. I know it was very difficult for him to leave, he felt very bad."

According to a report by the Spanish journalist Rashad Rahman, "Even if his camp does not admit it publicly, those close to Messi do not rule out a return to Barcelona. From a personal and family point of view, Leo feels that this is his home. Xavi and the dressing room will be satisfied, but the club needs to do quite a bit things to make it happen."
If Messi does return to Barcelona, he will discover an attacking unit that works well without him - Robert Lewandowski in the middle, Ousmane Dembele on the right, Rafinha on the left - all are in excellent form, and lead the Catalans to the championship.
According to "Mundo Deportivo", in that case, the flea may actually fit into Xavi's link squad: "He can play on the left, like Gabi does, and cut to the middle and leave the line to Balda. He will function almost like a midfielder. But he will also have to Press and do a lot of work, to maintain balance in the game."
