Messi revealed this in a heartfelt festive message to his former team-mate.
Neymar left Barca to join Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record deal in the summer.
It brought an end to the devastating attack with Messi and Luis Suarez.
In a short video, Messi said: “Well, Ney… I think we said practically everything to each other when you left.
“The truth is that here we are still missing you. We would like to keep sharing the mates [a South American hot drink] in the morning with Luis in the dressing room and many more things.
“Like always, I wish you the best wherever you are and I’m sure we will cross again on or off the pitch very soon. Take care of yourself.”
