Barcelona and Brazil legend Ronaldinho has insisted that he still thinks that Lionel Messi is the best player in the world, despite the Argentine's recent international disappointment.

The former Barcelona and Paris St-Germain star does not think that it is necessary for Messi to win an international tournament, in order to be considered the best in the world. 

"For me, Messi leaving international football does not change anything," Ronaldinho said.

"He is still the best football player in the world. The respect I have for him doesn't change at all.

"And if he really has decided to leave international football then the sport will miss his presence, and so will the fans". 

Do you agree with Ronaldinho?
