Lionel Messi meets his old mentor Ronaldinho! Against Leipzig, he shone

Tuesday’s Champions League offered some fantastic games, yet one stood out! The reason was of course the great sporting spectacle between PSG and RB Leipzig, but also the reunion of old friends from Barcelona. The legendary Brazilian Ronaldinho visited the Parc des Princes and great things happened!

Ronaldinho received a special club award before the game and then walked around the stands reminiscing. He didn’t forget to say hello to his old teammate, who he used to mentor. But Lionel Messi has outgrown his mentor considerably since then, as he proved against Leipzig.

This reunion, however, was not about proving himself or showing off. This was symbolism and football romance all rolled into one! See for yourself!

When Messi saw who was moving near the field of play, he didn’t hesitate to run from the warm-up for a moment. What happened next?

In the match, Messi literally went on a rampage! His bravura performance contributed to the French club’s 3:2 win. And what were the star Argentine’s stats?

91% of his passes were successful! He successfully made 7 dribbles, shot 5 times and scored two goals! This must have warmed the heart of his old mentor Ronaldinho!
