With Messi's retirement, Ronaldinho hopes Barca can breathe new life into their squad, eyeing up Yamal as the next big thing.
After a disappointing end to the season for FC Barcelona, the club icon, Lionel Messi, bid farewell to the club. Now that the club has lost its greatest player, they are on the hunt for a new hero. Ronaldinho, the legendary Brazilian footballer, has his eyes set on the next generation. Speaking to Barca Universal, he expressed his belief in the club's young prospect, Yamal Ruiz.
"Messi and I made history in Barcelona and now it's Yamal's turn," Ronaldinho said. "I follow Brazilian players and I know his progress since he arrived at Barcelona. He is a player with incredible potential, a player who has all the necessary conditions to be a star."
Yamal Ruiz is just 18 years old and plays for Barcelona's Under-19 team. Although he is yet to make his first-team debut, Ronaldinho sees his potential and believes he can become a key player for the club.
"He is a player who has all the conditions to be a star," Ronaldinho continued. "He has the strength, dribbling, and also has a good vision of the game. He can finish well and has a good sense of goal."
Only time will tell if Yamal Ruiz can live up to the expectations and become the next great Barcelona player. However, with the right guidance and development, he can indeed become a key player for the club.
The hopeful eyes of Barcelona fans are on Yamal Ruiz and the direction he takes.
