Lionel Messi had sent a heartwarming message to former teammate Arturo Vidal when the Chile star left Barcelona. The Argentine legend stated that he was surprised by the midfielder and was hoping they get to play together in the future.
Taking to Instagram after Vidal left Barcelona in 2020, Messi posted a few photos with the Chile midfielder and sent him a message. The Inter Miami star claimed that he knew the former Juventus man was a phenomenon, but the two years they spent together at Camp Nou surprised him even more.
Messi wrote:
"I only knew you from facing each other and you always seemed like a phenomenon to me, but later I was lucky to meet you personally and you surprised me even more. They were two years sharing many things and you made yourself noticed. The dressing room is going to miss you. I wish you all the best in this new stage at your new club. We will cross paths again, for sure."
