Lalo Maradona admits he's sorry Leo Messi left Barcelona for PSG in August.

Lalo is the brother of Diego Maradona, who passed away a year ago.

He told Mundo Deportivo: "For me Diego is the best, and Leo is also the best. They are different times, Leo has all the records because he has coincided with a very good team, which has helped him so much and my brother was not that lucky.

"They are two different things, my brother had a different spirit, he was more courageous, he pushed the team forward, he infected with his personality, and in that he differs from Leo. But for me, Leo, today he is the best in the world. I like to see him and wherever he goes, all Argentines will be behind him.

"I wish Leo could return, it would be great for Barcelona. He needs a player who can make a difference on the field and help Xavi to form everything he has on the field. Xavi is the source of Barça so he will know what Barça needs to put it back together."
