Barcelona hero Robert Lewandowski hopes that Lionel Messi will end his spell in Paris Saint-Germain's star-studded side - begging the Argentine to return to the Nou Camp.
Messi joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old, flying over from his home city of Rosario, Argentina after scouts rubbed their eyes in disbelief at the child prodigy before their eyes.
He burst onto the scene in 2004 and never looked back, winning his first Ballon d'Or aged just 22. But after 778 games, 672 goals and 17 years in the first-team at the Nou Camp, Barcelona's financial picture looked bleak - signalling the end for the Argentine.
Unable to register Messi as a result of La Liga 's financial wage cap regulations, the diminutive attacking wizard waved his goodbyes in a tearful press conference, where he made a sensational move to Paris Saint Germain on a free transfer.
