The Argentine superstar always stated Ronaldinho was one of his biggest inspirations, and he decided to send him a present for old times sake.

Former Barcelona player Ronaldinho shared with his fans what he called to be an "exciting moment". The 35-year old midfielder, who recently ended his relationship with Fluminense, posted a picture on his Instagram account showing an autographed jersey. Who signed it? Lionel Messi.

Ronaldinho showed a side yet unknown for some of his fans by posting the pic on social media, with the following caption:

"Jersey with the inscription and signed by my good friend and footballer Leo Messi! What a great gesture!"

Here's a closer look at Messi's inscription.

"Here's to my friend Ronie with all my heart. A big hug"
