Stripped Off Blue Tick Amid Elon Musk’s Purge, Soccer Legend Ronaldinho’s Twitter Hacked and Turned Into a Lionel Messi Fan Account

The name Ronaldinho inspires ingenuity, and his soccer career remains an inspiration to many. Be it the flicks or tricks, Ronaldinho remains the showboating superstar who graced the soccer pitch with his incredible appetite for the game. Moreover, he motivates players remarkably well. Everyone knows how he hyped Lionel Messi when he was only a budding young star. However, the soccer legend endured a troublesome period recently as he faced an issue with his Twitter account. 

As we all know, Elon Musk has removed all the blue tick marks from various celebrities and popular personalities. Browsing through Twitter is like finding a needle in a haystack; not a straightforward task. Hackers hacked the soccer player’s account. In fact, the hackers offered a tribute to Messi by using his account. 

Ronaldinho’s account hacked to glorify Lionel Messi

The account became a fan page for Lionel Messi as the profile name described it as “Leo Messi is my God.” Having 21.5 million followers, the profile saw several glorifying messages for Messi, and people remained surprised. One comment stated, “I’ve always dreamed of learning how to play football. But Lionel Messi did it better than me.” Another fan commented, “Messi is great.” However, the account had deleted all the messages, and the Brazilian has restored the profile to its original name, Ronaldinho. 

Despite the initial confusion, the fan page worked wonders, as we saw satisfactory engagement in those tweets. Either Ronaldinho wanted to be a fanboy, or it got hacked. The mystery remains tight. But there is no mystery in stating how Messi is a legend of the game.
