I am delighted to see that Messi is doing to Neymar what I did to him when he came to Barcelona. CHENNAI: Former Brazilian great Ronaldinho feels that Lionel Messi has been the perfect senior to Neymar at Barcelona , exactly the role played by him when the Argentine stalwart joined the first team of the Catalan giants more than a decade ago. When Messi came in, he was a young kid and there was so much potential in him. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with him and we did share a great rapport on the field and off it too. That is something you are expected to do as players at the highest level, exploit weaknesses of the opposition."
