Neymar dropped a bomb after helping Paris Saint-Germain beat Manchester United 3-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Brazilian showed up for his post-match interview and spoke about how his greatest wish right now is to meet Lionel Messi on the pitch again.
“What I want most is to play with Messi again, to be able to enjoy him again on the field. You can play in my place, I have no problem with that! But I want to play with him next year, for sure. We have to do it next season ”.

There has been much speculation about the future of both players, but there is no doubt that the latest comments from Neymar are likely to increase the rumors about the pair.
Messi’s future is unclear after a summer in which he told the club he wanted to leave. The captain ended up staying but is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Argentine’s future plans are unclear, but there has already been talk of moving to Manchester City, while the January presidential election may play a key role in any future decisions.
Neymar has been regularly linked to a return to Camp Nou, although it’s hard to see how Barca could afford to bring the Brazilian back at this point. He is currently under contract with PSG until 2022 and is reportedly in talks about a new five-year deal.
