Didn't realise he was still going in the Brazilian 3rd division, fair play to him! Incredible player, just a shame about the world cup face holding incident!

Great player apart from said incident, was someone i admired growing up and bit surprised still going a bit like Romario was still playing well into his 40s!

Brazils front line in 2002 with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo was just sublime

I thought the face holding incident was Gilberto?

Wonderful player, previously mentioned incident aside one of my all time favourites at his peak.

Unreal front 3! And in 2002, the best of Ronaldinho was still to come!

Yep, that was the last thing he wanted to do before retiring. Fair play to the man - a legend !!

The 3rd goal was just out of this world. Incredible.

barcelona certainly weren't the behemoth that they've been in the last few years when Rivaldo was there....but bloody hell they had some cracking players
