Ronaldinho is one of the greatest legends in the history of Barcelona and world football. For many people, he was the reason why the most popular sport on the planet began to entertain them. And now his son, Joao Mendes, is trying to build on his career. He is now fighting for a place in the Catalan national team.
Winner of the Ballon d’Or, world champion, South American champion, winner of the Champions League and its South American equivalent, the Copa Libertadores. And the list of trophies or prizes could go on for a while.
Ronaldinho was an outstanding footballer. He showed great potential in Brazil, then began to show it in a PSG jersey, and then became a Barcelona legend.
In the jersey of the Catalan giant, the Brazilian left the biggest mark. He has played 207 competitive games for the Camp Nou with a record of 94 goals scored and 70 assists. He was also enjoyed by the fans of AC Milan, where he closed his European career.
Now, Ronaldinho’s son is trying to build on that spectacular career. His full name is Joao Mendes de Assis Moreira. He has been with Cruzeiro in Brazil, but now he is without a contract.
this has given the 17-year-old a spectacular opportunity. He is on trial at Barcelona and is being scouted by the Under-19s. ESPN was the first to report the news.
If Mendes shows good results in the trial, he will play for Juvenil A, which is Barcelona’s U19 selection. Even if he doesn’t make it at Barcelona in the future, it’s a big step and a great opportunity to develop his skills.
After all, some of the current young stars of the Catalan team have also been given this opportunity and have taken advantage of it. For example, Gavi or Ansua Fati. Barcelona knows how to work with youth.
