Ronaldinho is still a big influence among Barcelona's supporters, and he didn't want to leave Messi's goal scoring milestone go by without saying a few words.
The Brazilian ace, who is also a good friend of Messi's, shared a video on his Twitter feed congratulating "La Pulga" for his performance in El Clásico, which saw him score a brace and his 500th goal with Los Blaugranas.
Being used to live life at its fullest, Dinho didn't hold back on the jokes and "remembered" Messi which player handed him his first assist.
