Brazilian legend Ronaldinho praised the performance of the Argentina national team in the 2026 World Cup, stressing that the secret to the team's success is not limited to the presence of Lionel Messi alone, but is due to several other reasons.

The Argentine team is preparing to face its Spanish counterpart tomorrow, Sunday, in the 2026 World Cup final.

Ronaldinho said in statements to the Brazilian network Globo: 'Argentina has always been like this, never giving up and fighting until the end, and this reputation has accompanied it for many years.'

He added: 'It is a team I love to watch, because of the fighting spirit and commitment that its players show in every match, and here it is reaching this stage again in the same way.'

The Brazilian star spoke about Messi, saying: 'Of course they have Messi, this man is the man of the moments, he can solve the team's problems at any moment and make the difference when things get complicated.'

Ronaldinho explained that what most catches his attention is the way the other players deal with their leader, as he said: 'The players are humble, they run for him, they know when to pass the ball to him, and they realize that he is capable of deciding matches.'

He concluded his remarks by affirming that Argentina's true strength lies in the unity of the group, adding: 'This cohesion among the members of the national team is something very beautiful worth watching, and it is one of the most important reasons for the team's success.'
