Ronaldinho was stripped to his little cotton socks after playing for Atletico Mineiro in Thursdayââ¬â¢s Club World Cup semi-final with Raja Casablanca.
Moroccan side Raja were surprise 3-1 winners in the game in Marrakech but it wasnââ¬â¢t a place in the final with Bayern Munich which got the home side excited.
No, instead it was the opportunity to rub shoulders with Brazil ace Ronaldinho and get hold of a souvenir.
And, not content with his shirt, the Raja players surrounded the former world player of the year and gave him plenty of cuddles â⬓ and then walked off with his boots.
For Ronaldinho, the love-in was small consolation for a defeat which could cost him a place in Brazilââ¬â¢s World Cup squad.
The 33-year-old scored Atleticoââ¬â¢s goal but was off the pace and ponderous in a game in which he was hoping to impress Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.
ââ¬ËOf course Iââ¬â¢m dejected,ââ¬â¢ he told Brazilian TV. ââ¬ËThe expectations were huge, itââ¬â¢s been a marvellous year and we have gone down in the clubââ¬â¢s history [winning the Copa Libertadores]. This is tough, weââ¬â¢ll have to see whatââ¬â¢s left for us.ââ¬â¢
