Lionel Messi flew to Barcelona last month to dine with Blaugrana boss Xavi Hernandez and several of the Catalan club’s star players.
It was the first time Messi has returned to the city since leaving the club in his high-profile summer transfer to Paris Saint-Germain this summer amid reports he is unhappy with life in France.
The Argentine had enjoyed a break sanctioned by PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino and he opted to spend it with his former teammates.
