WATCH: Lionel Messi's name belted out by Camp Nou crowd ahead of Kings League final as Barcelona legend continues to be linked with homecoming transfer

  • Messi's name sung at Camp Nou
  • Barcelona stadium hosting the Kings League
  • PSG adamant they can keep Messi

WHAT HAPPENED? The 90,000 capacity Barca stadium was sold-out for its hosting of the final four 'play-offs' of the Gerard Pique-sponsored Kings League – an all-star seven-a-side tournament featuring football legends and internet personalities on Sunday. But Messi's name still was on everyone's lips.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Argentine World Cup winner has been linked with a possible move back to Barcelona – the club he departed in 2021 after 14 years – although Paris Saint-Germain are adamant they can hold onto Messi this summer.

WHAT NEXT FOR MESSI? In the short-term, Messi's Argentina face a clash against Curacao on March 28 while PSG's next game is at home to Lyon in Ligue 1 on April 2.
