JAKARTA - Brazil has a long history of rivalry with Argentina. However, Rivaldo actually supported the airlifting team to win this year's Dunai Cup in Qatar.

If Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima hopes Argentina fails to win the 2022 World Cup, Rivaldo shares a message expressing his support for Albiceleste. More specifically, he supports Lionel Messi because both have dressed Barcelona in different eras.

Rivaldo played for five seasons at Camp Nou after joining from Deportivo La Coruna before moving to Milan. The former owner of number 10 in the Brazilian national team did not play with La Pulga at Camp Nou, but he may have realized his talent.

"Now we don't have Brazil or Neymar in the final, so I chose Argentina," Rivaldo wrote on his social media.

"There are no words for you, Leo Messi.

"You deserve to be world champion, but God knows everything and will announce you on Sunday, you deserve this title for yourself and the beautiful football you always play."

Controversial messages

Although Rivaldo's message certainly touches the heart and is sincere, it is expected to cause controversy in Brazil. Argentina is considered a great rival and many Brazilians fear the prospect of Argentina's victory.

Remember that Messi and Argentina won the 2021 Copa America, beating Brazil at their own home, the iconic Maracana stadium.
