Ronaldinho believes that sooner or later his fellow countryman will take the award home. He also confirmed he is not yet retired and he still thinks about playing football.

"Neymar is at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. We hope someday he can win the Ballon d'Or. He is already among the best and it is only a matter of time".

Ronaldo has no doubt that Neymar is the natural heir to Ronaldo and Messi's legacy, also referring to the young Brazilian as his "good friend and biggest idol in Brazil".

Officially speaking, Ronaldinho is retired from football, as he delared in Dubai. "I still train with as much desire and excitement as before and I am ready to play".

His next game will be with the Barcelona legends, who will face Real Madrid legends in Lebanon.
