At the age of 36, Lionel Messi is experiencing his final moments at the World Cup. And before the Argentine star will be the encounter that can be called the most important of his career. That is the final match of this year’s World Cup with France.

Before this promisingly exciting match, legendary player Ronaldinho had a very special share about his former “junior” at Barca – Lionel Messi in L’Equipe newspaper:

“This is Messi’s last World Cup. Honestly, I was completely captivated by his brilliance. I will support Lionel Messi with everything I have to see him win the championship.” .

In addition, the former Brazilian striker also affirmed: “With his genius qualities, Lionel Messi can completely play football at the highest level until he is 50 years old.”

It’s very possible that Ronaldinho’s words were only “half joke, half truth”. However, with what M10 has shown at this year’s 2022 World Cup Finals, what the South American football legend shared is not impossible.

With the harsh and physically competitive nature of modern football, the burden of age will naturally greatly limit Messi’s abilities. However, by dropping deep and playing like a “conductor”, the owner of 7 Ballon d’Or titles is showing that the physical rules of the king’s sport have little effect on him.

Of course, that doesn’t make Ronaldinho’s words any more trustworthy. But for those who love Messi, they will definitely want to see their idol play any more days and be “happy that day”.

As for Lionel Messi, he has confirmed that he will leave the World Cup after the upcoming match ends. And the 35-year-old striker’s number 1 goal will definitely be to win the gold trophy that he has craved throughout his career.
