Former Barcelona and Brazil midfielder Ronaldinho has praised Lionel Messi’s current form, insisting the Argentina captain is still the best player in the world ahead of the next World Cup, İdman.Biz reports.
Speaking to Ole, Ronaldinho highlighted both Messi’s enduring quality and his professionalism despite a demanding schedule. “Leo has many commitments and training sessions, but every time we manage to spend time together, it is a real pleasure.
