Brazil striker Neymar Jr posted an Instagram story with Messi on Tuesday (August 10) and captioned it as: "Back together". Neymar and Messi used to be teammates while playing for Barcelona, but the duo parted ways after the Brazilian striker signed with PSG.

After FC Barcelona could not extend the agreement due to "financial and structural obstacles" Messi was left as a free agent and he signed for PSG.

Messi said, "I am excited to begin a new chapter of my career at Paris Saint-Germain. Everything about the club matches my football ambitions. I know how talented the squad and the coaching staff are here. I am determined to help build something special for the club and the fans, and I am looking forward to stepping out onto the pitch at the Parc des Princes."
