Watch 39-year-old Ronaldinho pull off outrageous no-look assist for Colombian side Santa Fe
RONALDINHO is still pulling off moments of magic at the age of 39.
The Brazilian legend wowed fans in Colombia with a stunning piece of skill that fooled seven opposition players.
The former Barcelona and AC Milan superstar turned out in a friendly for Sante Fe against Atletico Nacional where he had the fans on their feet.
A throwback to the days when he was crowned the world’s best player in 2005, Ronaldinho produced a wonderful no-look assist to set up his team-mate.
Picking up the ball midway in Nacional’s half, he plays a pinpoint pass through the midfield and defence into the path of Jose Luis Caicedo.
The forward then keeps his cool and slots the ball into the back of the net.
Ronaldinho’s side went onto win 2-0 and fans took to social media to praise the veteran’s ability.
One said: “The Messi-Ronaldo rivalry has made us forget how much of a genius Ronaldinho Gaucho is!!!”
Another simply added: “Class is permanent.”
Ronaldinho officially hung up his boots in 2018 but couldn’t resist a final swansong with Sante Fe.
He received a hero’s welcome as he made his way onto the field as kids surrounded the superstar in awe.
One was even pictured bowing to his feet while others clung onto to him as local police attempted to escort them away.
It is unclear whether his appearance was just a one-off or whether he could be tempted to continue playing.
