Ronaldinho will also go down as the first player to assist Lionel Messi for his first Barcelona goal on May 1, 2005. Since then, the Argentine genius and the Brazilian have maintained a close bond.
This Thursday, during an awards ceremony by the Spanish newspaper Marca, the former PSG player spoke about the future of "Pleshti". The 2005 Golden Ball expressed his desire for Messi to end his career at Barça.
"I am a friend of Messi and I am very happy for him. For me, he is the best player in the world. I would be happy to see him flourish wherever he plays. But after everything he experienced at Barça, it would be great to see him end his career at Camp Nou.
The message has gone through for the Argentine world champion, whose future in the French capital is still unclear.
