Turin (Italy), June 2 (IANS): Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba on Tuesday admitted that he dreams of playing alongside Barcelona star striker Lionel Messi.

The Frenchman has long been linked with a move away from Turin, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid said to be very interested in him.

Pogba now spoke of his admiration for Barcelona, his side's Champions League final opponents on Saturday.

"Playing with Messi would be a dream come true. He's the best player in the world. I love watching Barcelona play, but I also love watching them lose. We know that we're not favourites but it's a final," Pogba was quoted as saying by goal.com.

"We're going to give our all. We have nothing to lose and you never know what can happen."

Despite his admiration for Barcelona, Pogba emphasised that he had no immediate plans to leave his club in the summer.

"I never said that the final in Berlin would be my last game. People can believe what they want," the 22-year-old concluded.
