Barcelona forward Lionel Messi can seal a dream finale to his superb career like basketball legend Michael Jordan in The Last Dance, AC Milan midfielder Lucas Biglia believes.

The popular 10-part series, made by ESPN and Netflix, tracks Jordan in his final season at the Chicago Bulls as he leads the franchise to a sixth NBA championship and a second 'three-peat' in the space of eight years.

"I finished The Last Dance the other day, it was excellent," former Argentina international Biglia told Radio Octubre in his homeland.

"It got me thinking that in a few years, hopefully we will be able to watch something similar with our own phenomenon [Messi].

"[We could] learn a load of things about his day to day.

"Because you see him train, you see him play, but so many things happen on a day-to-day basis that you don't know about, as with Jordan in the series.

"The scene that I would like to see in future, the one when Jordan's father dies and he is hugging the [NBA] trophy, I would like to see that with him (Messi) and the World Cup.

"That I would like to see. I know what it would mean for him and for the Argentine people."
