Three days after being inducted into the Maracana Hall of Fame, Ronaldinho was quite literally up to his old tricks again while turning out in a beach football exhibition match between Brazil and Japan on Monday.
The game was essentially a farewell to Selecao beach football legend Jorginho, who personally invited Ronaldinho to come along and join in with the celebrations.
The pair made quite the impression, with Ronaldinho banging in a hat-trick of pearlers while also providing a crafty overhead assist in what proved to be a resounding win for chaps in yellow…
Obrigado Jorginho! 👋 👏👏👏

Just something about the sight of Ron glowing in his natural habitat.
If he could’ve played every game on sand during his football career, you get the feeling he probably would have.
