Barcelona star, Robert Lewandowski has said that he hopes to play alongside Lionel Messi before retiring from football.

Lewandowski in an interview discussion on Mundo Deportivo said that, he would love to play with Lionel Messi before hanging up his boots.

The former Bayern Munich forward recently won 2022 Golden Foot Award in Monaco after Poland was eliminated from the World Cup in the group stage of the competition.

The 34-year-old Polish striker became emotional after scoring his first World Cup goal, tying him with Pele on 77 goals in his Poland jersey.

However, Lewandowski expressing his desire to wear the same jersey as Leo Messi in the same team, stated that the Argentine talisman is the best player in every position. 

According to him, even though Messi is not scoring as many goals as he used to, but he is still a typical playmaker who loves to assist his teammates in most matches.
