As you may be aware, Ronaldo played his final competitive game last night – playing for the last 15 minutes of the first-half of Brazil’s 1-0 friendly win over Romania in Sao Paulo.
Sadly, Ron didn’t manage to grab the decisive goal (Fred had put Brazil a goal up before El Fenomeno entered the fray), though he did manage to fluff two or three decent chances to extend the lead during the brief period he spent on the pitch – chances he would have buried in his prime.
We’ve got hold of a few photos and video clips of the evening’s festivities for you to flick through.
