Brazil flag At age 42, Ronaldinho is back in action.

The legendary Barcelona player ended his career in South America and retired from professional football in 2015.

However, there will be one more opportunity for football fans to witness him wearing a uniform.

The former AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain forward competed for Porcinos FC in the King’s League, which is managed by another Barcelona legend, Gerard Pique.

The weekly addition of a 12th player, who is typically a retired football star or a famous person, is allowed in the tournament, which is based in Spain.

Former professionals Iker Casillas, Kun Aguero, and Xavi have all participated in the competition.

In the eighth round of the championship, Ronaldinho faced Pio FC.

And when his team was given a penalty in the one-off game, he had the opportunity to score.

This gave the 2002 World Cup champion the chance to astound everyone with a brilliant message.

It happened after Ronaldinho’s decision to take the penalty kick was questioned by the referee.

Let someone else run, he said, “I’m not going to run.”

Ultimately, Porcinos FC lost 3-1, and Ronaldinho was unable to lead his team to victory.

Despite this, he garnered a lot of attention online. According to Spanish media, 873,000 people watched the fight across Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

Ronaldinho left football eight years ago after playing for Fluminese, but he came back in 2018 for a brief run with the Goa 5 of Indian Futsal.

He is one of just eight players in history to have won the World Cup, Champions League, and Ballon d’Or all at the same time.

With 266 goals in 699 games, Ronaldinho had a stellar club career.

He also made 97 appearances and scored 33 goals for Brazil.
