Despite having left the club in 2021, the Argentinian star holds a deep connection with the club. At the end of the El Clasico, the 37-year-old former player reacted to Barcelona’s win by interacting with the team’s official social media post.

Messi commented on the Instagram post celebrating the 4-0 win, by labeling it as a ‘beautiful victory’. Not just Lionel Messi, but former Barcelona star Neymar Jr. also shared his reaction to the club’s victory over Real Madrid, by posting a message that read ‘Visca Barca’. 

Meanwhile, the Catalan club ended Real Madrid’s 42-match unbeaten streak in the Spanish league. The club, most recently, also celebrated its 4-1 Champions League victory over Bayern Munich, taking revenge for its past defeats to the Bundesliga giants.

Ex-Barcelona star rumored to join Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez at Inter Miami

Ex-Barcelona forward Neymar Jr. has been rumored to make a move to David Beckham-owned Inter Miami in 2025. The Al-Hilal star could reunite with his former Barca teammates, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, in the United States.

The thought of the iconic MSN trio, that once played for the Catalan club, has left fans excited. During their peak years, the trio comprising Messi, Neymar and Suarez, caused havoc in Europe, winning numerous titles which included the Champions League, La Liga and Club World Cup. Their return onto the pitch together would definitely increase the stardom of the MLS.

Having most recently made his return from a season-long ACL injury, Neymar could be on his way out of Al-Hilal next season. However, his massive salary demands could prove to be a hindrance to his Inter Miami transfer.
