While at the Bahrain Grand Prix, he was asked by ESPN if he could play alongside the Argentine sensation again in the future, Neymar replied: "I hope we do play together again. Leo is a great person. Anyone in football, everyone knows him. I think he is very happy. If he is happy, I am too."

Messi and Neymar won two La Liga titles as well as two Champions League crowns at Camp Nou before going on to win Ligue 1 on consecutive occasions at PSG. Messi then left to join MLS side Inter Miami, while Neymar signed a lucrative deal to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal.

Neymar is currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury he sustained shortly after he made the move to the Saudi Pro League and is expected to miss the Copa America with Brazil this summer. Messi, meanwhile, is already off to a good start in the new MLS season and is gearing up for a match against Florida rivals Orlando City on Saturday.
