Legend named in the starting lineup for an Italian Serie C match! Ronaldinho returns to the pitch at 46
Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho is returning to the pitch. The 46-year-old former Barcelona and Milan player has been named in Ravenna's starting lineup for their match against Forlì in Italy's Serie C.
It is a special return for Ronaldinho: he has not played at an official level since ending his professional career in 2016. The Brazilian still has a chance to reach the symbolic milestone of 300 career goals, with 299 to his name so far.
What makes it even more intriguing is that Ravenna are enjoying a successful season. After 13 matches, the team sit second in the standings and are in contention for promotion to Serie B.
Ronaldinho's inclusion in the squad came as a genuine surprise to fans. Now, attention is focused not only on the result against Forlì, but also on whether the Brazilian legend can score his milestone 300th goal.
