Barcelona frontman Lionel Messi has wished his former team mate Pedro all the best following the completion of the 28-year-old's £21 million transfer to Chelsea.

Pedro joined the Blues after being heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, ending an 11 year stint at the Catalan giants. In his time at the Nou Camp Pedro won three Champions League medals and five La Liga titles, as well as triumphing on the international stage with Spain.

The wingers most recent contribution to his time spent at Barcelona came when he scored the winning extra time goal in an enthralling 5-4 UEFA Super Cup victory against Sevilla.

Messi took to his official Facebook page to remind his followers of the fond memories he had for the Spanish winger.

"We've shared really great moments in together over the years.
