Lionel Messi has responded to Neymar bidding him farewell after the Argentine confirmed his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar had penned an emotional message for Messi who played his final game for PSG on Saturday against Clermont Foot.
The Brazilian international wrote on Instagram: “It was a pleasure to share 2 more years with you. Good luck in your new stage and be happy. I love you.”
Reacting to the post, Messi wrote in the comments section:
“Thanks Ney! Beyond everything that remains, we once again enjoyed playing together and sharing the day to day. I wish you all the best. Apart from being ‘crack’, you’re a beautiful person and that’s what it’s worth in the end. I love you very much.”
Messi and Neymar shared the pitch 206 times during their career together at Barcelona and PSG, respectively, combining for 67 goals.
The bulk of it came during their time at the La Liga champions.
