Messi wants Argentina return
Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi has admitted that he would like to return to his native Argentina at some point during his career.

The Barcelona forward left Newell's Old Boys in Rosario at the age of 13 to join the Catalan club, and has since become Barcelona's all-time leading goalscorer.

"One day I would like to go to Argentina because I left my country at such a young age," he told Sports Illustrated. "I couldn't enjoy Rosario, my city, my people that much.

"It was a complicated time. On the one hand it was nice, because to come and play in Barcelona was something spectacular. On the other hand it was difficult, because I left everything behind."

Messi, who won the domestic double with Barcelona this season, will captain Argentina at this summer's Copa America Centenario competition, in search of his first major trophy with the senior national team.
