Ronald Koeman spoke about the future of captain Lionel Messi after Sunday’s disappointing 2-1 defeat to Celta Vigo in La Liga.
Messi scored his 30th league goal of the season to open the scoring but it wasn’t enough as the visitors ran out victors thanks to a Santi Mina brace.
Koeman was asked after the match if it was Messi’s last game at the Camp Nou and made it clear just how much he is hoping the Argentina stays on.
“I hope not because I think [against Celta] he’s shown his effectiveness and that he’s still the best in the world,” he said.
