The PSG forward was back in the Catalan city this week to catch up with friends

Lionel Messi and Antonela took advantage of some days off given to the Paris Saint-Germain players and the forward's absence from the Agentina squad (after just recovering from Covid) to travel to Barcelona for a few days, where they still have their house in Castelldefels.

On Monday, they dined with Messi's former teammates, who he still has an excellent relationship with.

Barça coach Xavi Hernandez was there on the eve of his 42nd birthday, as well as two of the club's four captains, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets.

Their respective partners (Nuria Cunillera, Elena Galera and Romarey Ventura) were also present as the meal, as was Pepe Costa, who remains close to Messi.

It has to be pointed out that not only does Messi get on well with Busquets and Alba, who were by his side at all times during his Barça exit, but their respective partners have also maintained a warm relationship.

Gerard Pique, one of the other Barça captains from the same generation as Xavi, Messi, Alba and Busquets, was not invited.

The dinner took place in the Japanese restaurant Sushi 99, located in Turo Parc in upper Barcelona, close to where Xavi resides.

According to some sources, the meeting was relaxed, old friends who had not seen each other in a while catching up. It was a moment to remember anecdotes and to explain how everything is going with their respective lives.

Subjects such as Messi's life in Paris, PSG and Xavi's first months as Barça coach were discussed and they joked about the possibility of working together again one day.

The dinner shows the good relationship between four former teammates who now have different roles, one at PSG, the other as a coach and two on the pitch for Barça.
