Stats show Lionel Messi has more international goals per game than Ronaldo

Lionel Messi is said to have scored 68 international goals and registered 44 assists in 136 matches, averaging 0.82 goals per game

Barcelona legend Xavier Hernandez has named Manchester City star Raheem Sterling as the first player he will sign if he becomes the club manager.

The 39-year-old former midfielder who announced his retirement from active football kicked off his coaching career with Quatari football club Al Sadd

He won his first title for the club after helping them clich the 2019 Quatari Super Cup following a 1-0 win against Al-Duhail

Xavi has been tipped as one of the very few to take over from embattled Ernesto Valverde whose side has only picked just ten points from six matches played already

Lionel Messi has revealed that there are some people in Barcelona that do not want Neymar to return to the club.

"It is difficult to bring him back,"Messi told Buerios Aires radio station Metro 95.1

"Firstly because it was difficult to see him leave, secondly because of how he left.

"There are people from the club and the members who do not want to return.

"If it is for sports, Ney is one of the best in the world, but I understand all the other factors."

According to the Sun, Barcelona are reportedly offering PSG £153m for a year's loan deal for Neymar in the January window

According to a Twitter post by @barcacentre, "After Liverpool's comeback against Barcelona at Anfield, Messi spoke with Neymar on the phone and said: 'Only together can we win the Champions League, I want you to come back. In two years, I will leave and you will take over?" [france football]
