Ronaldinho believes Barcelona will need to retire their No. 10 jersey once Lionel Messi hangs up his boots, with nobody capable of filling the boots of the “best in history”.
At 31 years of age, there is still plenty of football left in the five-time Ballon d’Or.
It may be a little ambitious to expect him to play on for another 20 years, but that is what Ronaldinho is hoping to see from the Argentine superstar.
Messi has already raised the bar of individual excellence over the course of a remarkable career, and it is difficult to see how anybody would be able to step into the void once he leaves Camp Nou.
