“The team always did what he asked for.”
Messi was not club captain during Neymar’s stint but the 27-year-old words reflect the Argentine’s presence nevertheless.
Messi himself recently spoke about the club’s recent failed effort to re-sign Neymar.
“I understand that people valued him for other things, for how he left and that there were people who did not want him to come and it was difficult, but because of the football he wanted him to come,” Messi told RAC1.
