BRAZILIAN legend Ronaldinho was left fuming after receiving a taste of his own medicine when he was nutmegged.
The 42-year-old built a career of embarrassing his opponents with his silky skills.
A true embodiment of Joga Bonito, Ronaldinho won the Ballon d’Or in 2005, while he was also named as the Fifa World Player of the Year in 2004 and 2005.
From Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona, to AC Milan and Atletico Mineiro, the 2002 World Cup winner dazzled with the ball wherever he went playing the beautiful game with a smile on his face.
But he wasn’t left laughing after he was unexpectedly nutmegged by TikTok star Ferjani Safi.
Safi has made a name for himself on the social media platform where he regularly shares clips of himself nutmegging people from around the globe.

Ronaldinho was in Belgium earlier in the week for a legends match between Standard Liege and Genk.
And he also attended other events, where Safi just so happened to be waiting for him.
In a video he shared on TikTok to his 788,000 followers, Safi could be seen casually rolling the ball through Ronaldinho’s legs as he walked into the room.
Out of potential embarrassment and anger, Ronaldinho turned around where he appeared to boot the ball away in anger.
