The Brazil legend hopes his fellow South American forward to take back his shock decision to never play again for Argentina.
World Cup winner and Brazil legend Ronaldo feels "abandoned" by Lionel Messi and hopes he reneges on his retirement from international football.
The Barcelona forward, 29, lost his third major final with Argentina in as many years Sunday when Chile won the Copa America Centenario final on penalties.
Messi, having missed a spot kick in the shootout, stunned the world in the aftermath by revealing he would never again play for Argentina, triggering a slew of people - including Diego Maradona and the country's own president - publicly pleading with him to reconsider.
