Barcelona legend Ronaldinho, 44, showcased his enduring skill with a brilliant free-kick during an El Clasico Legends match in Qatar. Playing alongside stars like Luis Figo, Rivaldo, and Clarence Seedorf, the Brazilian doubled Barca’s early lead with a beautifully curled free-kick past 66-year-old ex-Madrid keeper Francisco Buyo.
The match, tied 2-2 after regular time, saw Juan Pablo Sorin open the scoring for Barcelona before Real Madrid legends Luis Figo and Edwin Congo leveled the game. Congo capitalized on a mistake by Frank De Boer to slot Madrid’s equalizer in the 63rd minute. Barcelona missed a chance to seal the win late when substitute goalkeeper Pedro Contreras saved Patrick Kluivert’s penalty.
In the ensuing penalty shootout, Ronaldinho, Figo, Congo, and Sorin converted their penalties, with Barca securing a 4-2 win. Ronaldinho’s flair on display reminded fans of his iconic 2002 World Cup free-kick against England.<
