Lionel Messi is the only player who can eclipse Ronaldinho

Diego Maradona met the talented Barcelona forward and fellow Argentinean Lionel Messi yesterday in Rosario. Speaking about the young Messi, he said, “Leo is a player without limits. He should get ‘10 ‘ one day. He has championships, he has personality, he is only going to get better.

“He’s the only player who can eclipse Ronaldinho.”

Messi just could not believe that these words were coming from the same man whom he has idolized for all these years. Messi said, “When I was small, my dad showed me videos of you. My mother’s dream was that you’d teach me one day.”
Maradona, then said to Messi, “We’re both left-handed, we both hit the heights while young, we both play for Barcelona… and we both scored with a hand that the referee didn’t see,” he laughed.
