BRAZIL icon Ronaldinho rolled back the years with some silky skills in Tuesday’s Legends game between Barcelona vs Real Madrid.
And he even treated fans to his famous celebration after netting in the Clasico clash.
Legends from Barcelona and Real Madrid turned out in force for Tuesday’s exhibition in Tel Aviv.
Barcelona boasted talents such as Deco, Rivaldo and Luis Figo.
And Real Madrid were equally well-stocked, fielding the likes of Roberto Carlos, Iker Casillas and Javier Saviola.
Los Blancos won the game 3-2 thanks to goals from Pedro Munitis, Alfonso Perez and Ruben de la Red.
Meanwhile, Jofre and Ronaldinho were both on the scoresheet for Barcelona.
And it was the latter who drew the biggest cheers from fans as he ran Real ragged in the final third.
Ronaldinho left a number of opposition defenders in their tracks as he darted into the box with some silky skills.
The Samba superstar then fired off a rocket shot which cracked the crossbar, much to the relief of Casillas.
RONNIE ON TARGET
But Ronaldinho did hit the target when he fired home a penalty for Barcelona.
Every team-mate came up to congratulate Ronaldinho as the crowd went wild.
And he cheered supporters back by flashing them his iconic trademark, which sees the thumb and little finger on both hands extended.
Ronaldinho is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, with his best spell coming at the Nou Camp.
