Lionel Messi inherited the 10 from Ronaldinho and went on to become the greatest player in the world during his time at Barca. Yamal now has the shirt, and has already had to suffer many comparisons with Messi, but is also playing a starring role for Barca. Ronaldinho’s been asked if the 10 shirt is in safe hands with Lamine and is in no doubt that the teenager looks good in the jersey.
“Without a doubt. One of the best in the world, still very young, but already doing incredible things. It’s (the No.
10) is very well taken care of,” he told Ole. Ronaldinho was also asked for his thoughts on Hansi Flick’s Barcelona and is enjoying watching the team play under the German coach. “Without a doubt, they continue to be one of the strongest teams in Europe, and we’re always watching and hoping that Barça will do something beautiful,” he added.
