Another declared: “Class is permanent, icon.”

One noted: “Age is just a number.”

Another added: “The man hasn’t changed at all.”

Ronaldinho is widely considered to be one of the greatest players in history.

The wing wizard began his career at Gremio before earning a switch to Paris Saint-Germain in 2001.

Two years later, and after turning down an offer from Manchester United, he signed for Barcelona.

The rest is history, with Ronaldinho scoring 94 goals in five seasons while winning two titles, one Champions League and the 2005 Ballon d’Or.

After Barca, he spent time in Italy with AC Milan where he won the Serie A title.

He then returned to Brazil with Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro before enjoying a brief spell in Mexico with Queretaro.
