*Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is reportedly set to do his bit to get former team-mate Ronaldinho out of prison.*

The Brazilian legend has been in police custody following a case of alleged passport fraud as he tried to get into Paraguay with a fake passport.

According to TeamTalk and various other sources today, Messi is now ready to try to help Ronaldinho by hiring a team of lawyers and paying as much as €4million to get the retired star out of prison…


If accurate, this is a truly heartwarming gesture from Messi, who must clearly still hold Ronaldinho in high regard.

The pair played together briefly at Barca when Messi was still coming through as a youngster, while Ronaldinho was perhaps the best footballer on the planet at that time.

The Argentine maestro is now one of the biggest names in the game, but it’s clear he’s a class act off the pitch too!

Nice gesture by the GOAT .

Eye service, just to win cheap political point. WE ALL LIKE RONALDINHO

i once wrote a few months back that Ronaldinho was broke....and that all his millions were gone, and some foolish people thought i was talking rubbish. the above is a clue. yes, he still has houses cars in Brasil etc but NO MORE CASH. he cant even pay the fine of a few millions that the Brazilian gov imposed on his biz, so he could get his passport back to travel abroad, so he has to now turn to forgery. lol

so he cant even afford lawyers so Messi needs to chip in?!

Damm!!!! This guys are rich for life.

4 million Euros is about 1.6 billion naira.

This is the amount of money a man is giving out without breaking a sweat, though it's for a good cause though because Ronaldinho was really good to him.

It's so unfortunate that Ronaldinho squandered all his money on parties, women, extravagant lifestyle, keeping late nights, countless women, eating anyhow and even getting overweight and because of that, Barcelona had to let him go.

His career was over because he didn't listen to advise.

He was even having active sex during the 2006 world cup in Germany and that was why he couldn't perform.

He is the cause of his dwindled career.

As a professional, you must learn self discipline and control.

Nobody is saying you shouldn't party or carry women but you must not do that during an ongoing season, maybe after the close of the football season.

This is what seperates those that last long from those with short career like Ronaldinho and balloteli.

Anyways kudos to Messi but 1.6 Billion naira is no small money.

Apart from Davido and Wizkid, does any AFRICA celeb have 1.6 billion naira in cash in the bank?

Hmm just thinking out loud.

Abeg don't think loud again jare, it's too loud. Just wish the super star a chance for a second chance. Not the time for blame game.

sadly that was his downfall... the dude likes to party WAY TOO MUCH and everyone knew it. Neymar is doing exactly the same now, having no less than 10friends on stand by, paid to be around him and party every week.

the majority of "active" top footballers have that amount in the bank too.... but wouldnt help just about anybody. Messi is a close friend of Ronaldinho, but there are 100s or more footballers who have this amount available in the bank, no sweat!

there are many African ex footballers (let alone celebrities) who have the means..... Eto'o, Drogba etc but the main issue here is not about Africans, and all to do with football. look around you, the majority of ex football stars are broke and this has nothing to do with race

Ur absolutely correct bro.

Messi my man. God bless u.

Somebody is saying Messi is doin eye service,ppl re jux ungr8ful.U can neva pls humans. Somebody is helping a frnd out nd one local champoin is in Nigeria sayin eye service. So sad.

Messi was born to assist people both on and off the pitch!

Ronaldinho has just been messisted. Although, it's sad to see Ronnie go down this way.

Ronaldinho assisted Messi's first ever Barcelona goal.

Messi has now assisted Ronnie out of gaol.

May God continue to bless Messi and all other charitable footballers.

If only you knew who Ronaldinho is to Lionel Messi you would know this is a small gesture by Leo.
Some friendships transcend football and cannot be quantified by money.

The environment one grows up in can help make or break.
I think Nigeria has affected your mentality that everything you see is now through the prism of politics and attention.

SMH

Such happens when the gods want to roll.

Nice I love this... Such a nice gesture from Messi. No matter how big you are in life, never forget those who were together with you in the past...


Ronaldinho is a jolly good fellow. Always smiling and full of life and he was really close to Messi too and Messi looked up to him...
God bless Messi for this... I'm a Ronaldo fan by the way
