Francesco Totti is an icon, having played for Roma for the entirety of his lengthy and successful career. Totti is in his last season for Roma, and he turned 40 years old Tuesday. Lionel Messi, the current best player in the world, sent Totti a nice message.

"Hello Francesco, I want to wish you a very happy birthday," Messi says. "I hope you have a wonderful day. I've always admired you, and even more so on the day I met you. A big hug!"
Hopefully Messi follows Totti's example and plays until he's 40.
