Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas has proposed a grand idea for the return of football. The current FC Porto shot-stopper tweeted on Monday the thought of bringing all the former Real Madrid and Barcelona stars together for a massive El Clásico charity match.
The last major stint of Ronaldinho’s legendary career was the nine months he spent with Querétaro in Liga MX. At the age of 35, the Brazilian certainly wasn’t as mobile or explosive as he’d been a decade prior when winning the Ballon d’Or with Barcelona, but his ability on the ball remained unparalleled.
So it's perhaps fitting that his greatest moment in Mexico was a seven-minute cameo that served to placate the paying audience inside Club América’s Estadio Azteca on April 19, 2015.
On March 21, the legendary Ronaldinho celebrated his 40th birthday (while in prison in Paraguay). Of his 40 years on this planet, the most celebrated are the five he spent with Barcelona between 2003 and 2008.
The Brazilian enjoyed a stratospheric rise at the Camp Nou and made the Blaugrana No. 10 shirt his own while winning two LaLiga titles, one Champions League crown and the 2005 Ballon d’Or.
The inquiry that led to the detention of former Brazil player Ronaldinho enters a new stage this week as prosecutors focus on what they believe is a money laundering scheme involving the businesswoman who invited him to Paraguay. Investigators will begin reviewing files and messages on the phones of the former Barcelona and AC Milan player and his brother and business manager Roberto Assis.
Ronaldinho’s Paraguayan prison stay just got a whole lot better. In the most ironic twist possible, the prison holding Ronaldinho and his brother is hosting a futsal tournament for the inmates. Therefore, there is the huge possibility of Ronaldinho playing in prison.
Former Brazilian international Ronaldinho Gaucho was ordered to remain in jail in Paraguay on Saturday after a judge ruled him a flight risk.
The ex-Barcelona forward was arrested on Friday for attempting to enter Paraguay with a false passport two days earlier and spent Friday night in a police cell along with his brother and business manager Roberto Assis.
Former Barcelona and Brazil striker Ronaldinho was being questioned by Paraguayan authorities on Thursday after arriving in the country with what police said was an adulterated Paraguayan passport.
Ronaldinho had many great moments in his 145 appearances for Barcelona, but none may have been better than his performance in the 2005 El Clasico at the Bernabeu. Ronaldinho was in the prime of his career, on a Barcelona side that also featured an 18-year-old Lionel Messi, along with a Real Madrid side that featured David Beckham and Ronaldo.
Before the game, the two sides were separated by a point at the top of the La Liga standings. Playing in Madrid and on the biggest stage, Ronaldinho made the entire defense look silly en route to a 2 goal performance.
Kobe Bryant’s sudden passing at the age of 41 in a helicopter crash shocked the world on Sunday. The man’s impact and influence on the game of basketball needs no explanation, but Bryant was also a massive soccer fan having grown up in Italy (where his father played professional basketball).
A new study has revealed the top earners on Instagram, and it’s time to drop everything and focus on becoming an influencer. We’ll also need to score 701 professional goals, get shredded, win five Ballon d’Ors and five Champions League crowns, but we’ll worry about that later. First, let’s just dream about taking home $975K for every sponsored post we throw out there.
