"I am a trend on Twitter because Messi tested positive for Covid-19. They relate this to me saying that I infected him. They have even called me 'murderer.' I have a lot of very bad private messages. Yesterday I got tested because I have to travel to Uruguay and I do not have Covid-19," said Palacio.

Ronaldinho risks wrath of Barcelona after comments on Messi's transfer to PSG

In other Lionel Messi news, Sports Brief reported that Ronaldinho, who is a paid ambassador of Barcelona, a club he played for between 2003 and 2008, recently made some controversial comments regarding Lionel Messi’s transfer to PSG.

Messi joined PSG in the summer of 2021, ending his long association with Barcelona, who had to let their all-time goalscorer go because of a salary cap. Like Messi, Ronaldinho also played for PSG between 2001 and 2003 before eventually joining Barcelona.

But because he is a paid ambassador of the Blaugrana, the Spanish giants did not appreciate his recent comments. In October 2021, Ronaldinho and Messi met and embraced during the Champions League clash between PSG and Leipzig in what was a heart-warming moment.
