Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has responded angrily to reports suggesting Lionel Messi will leave the club, insisting that the reports are "embarrassing".

Barcelona striker Neymar’s father confirmed that Manchester United had tried to lure the star to the Premier League, but the offer was dismissed.

Brazilian football legend Pele has named Lionel Messi as the greatest footballer of the last decade, as he also paid tribute to Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neymar believes Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and himself were always going to be a success for Barcelona.
