Barcelona goalscorer Sergi Roberto says the players want Lionel Messi to return.

Roberto struck in last night's El Clasico win against Real Madrid.

Afterwards, the veteran was asked about Messi returning to Barca from PSG.

"With open arms, who is not going to be ready for Messi's return? In the end, we don't want to talk much because who has to decide is him, the president, the coach or whoever, but if it is for the players, we are waiting for him now," said Roberto.

Barca goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen also stataed: "If he does not return, it will be bad because Messi has done great things here over the years and everyone is happy when they hear his name related to Barcelona."
