Lionel Messi reunites with Ronaldinho after 13 years
Lionel Messi is slowly adapting to PSG. He has also started making important contributions to the team’s victory.
The Argentine forward has scored two goals alone on the night of the French giants’ victory in the best fight in Europe.
But before the start of this night of joy, sweet moments were waiting for Messi.
Lionel Messi sees a familiar face on the touchline as he warms up ahead of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League group stage match against RB Leipzig on Wednesday (10/20/2021) CET.
Yep, that player is Ronaldinho, a living legend of Brazil and Barcelona, mentor and former teammate of La Pulga at Camp Nou.
Messi could not contain his emotions after getting close to the Brazilian legend. In that emotional moment, Messi was seen hugging the 41-year-old man for a while, as if to leave, dear ‘Ronnie’.
The Brazilian himself also played for the French club before joining Barcelona, where he was one of the players who witnessed Messi make his professional debut before sharing the dressing room with him for three and a half years.
