ISLAMABAD 13 April (Online): Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has said he would love Lionel Messi to return to the Catalan club from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.<\/p>\n

“Messi belongs to Barca and if he returns it would be something incredible,” said Lewandowski on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We know that his place is here, in Barcelona. I don’t know what will happen, but I hope that next season we can play together.”<\/p>\n

Lewandowski, top scorer in Spain, could not find the net for the league leaders against Girona and, speaking at a charity event, said he had been carrying an injury.<\/p>\n

“I took a blow from (Real Madrid defender Eder) Militao in the game against Madrid and I could not walk,” added Lewandowski, referring to
\nBarcelona’s 4-0 thrashing by Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey last week.<\/p>\n

“On the pitch I have to play better but that knock from Militao left my body in a bad way.”<\/p>\n

Amid whistles from PSG supporters who see Messi as a symbol of the club’s mistakes in chasing star signings instead of building a competitive team, Barcelona are openly courting the forward.<\/p>\n

Barcelona fans have chanted Messi’s name in the 10th minute – representing his former Barca shirt number – in their last two matches, including a 0-0 draw against Girona on Monday in La Liga.<\/p>\n

The playmaker scored a record 672 goals in 778 matches for Barcelona, winning 35 trophies, after joining the club at 13-years-old and developing at their feted La Masia youth academy.<\/p>\n

“Leo generates excitement, they have chanted his name in two games now, we’ll see what happens,” said Barca coach Xavi Hernandez after the derby clash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
