Brazil legend Adriano seen partying in the street with no shoes on weeks before returning to play one last match at 42

ADRIANO partied on the streets with his friends despite being weeks away from a return to football.

The Brazil legend has lived a flamboyant lifestyle since hanging up his boots, including partying on a yacht and being crowned an emperor during carnival.

He enjoyed some down time with pals this week, taking to the streets of Brazil for some festivities.

Adriano, 42, stumbled around barefooted and laughed and joked with his friends, beer in hand.

He also poked his tongue out at someone and jokingly barged one friend.

Adriano is just weeks away from making a return to football, with the former striker to play in one final game.

The 48-cap former Brazil star retired in 2016 but bowed out of the game without saying goodbye to fans.

So he will play in one final farewell match between two of his former teams, Flamengo and Inter Milan, on December 15.

Adriano will play for both sides, swapping at half-time.
