A Referee Stopped A Game To Get Ronaldinho's Autograph

Everybody loves Ronaldinho, and everybody especially loves him on Ecuador.

Ecuadorian team Barcelona (no we are not making that name up) brought Dinho in to be the guest of honor at their big season kickoff celebration thingy, and the person who loved the former Barcelona (the Spain version) man the most there might have been the referee.

En la #NocheAmarilla, ni el árbitro se aguantó y le pidió un autógrafo a #Ronaldinho.
R10 le firmó la tarjeta. pic.twitter.com/STkzzYkKme

But judging by this video it was everybody.

Including his one-game-only teammates after they scored a goal.

And the (estimated) entire population of Ecuador when he got taken off.

Everyone loves Ronaldinho.
