Benfica wing-back Grimaldo open to re-signing for Barcelona

Benfica wing-back Alejandro Grimaldo has left the door open to returning to Barcelona.

Benfica meet Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Grimaldo told Sport: "It's not a closed chapter. Barcelona is my home and I won't shut the door to my home ever. It's clear they're still one of the v best teams and I'd never say no.

"It's something I thought, that when I left it was a see you later, not a goodbye. I was there eight years. I'm very happy at Benfica, I feel important here. But it's clear Barcelona is my home and I have a lot of love for it."

On the prospect of scoring against Barca, he added: "Even my parents have asked me that! I won't celebrate if it comes up. I'm going to be happy because I want to win the game and I'll fight to the death for Benfica."
