Ronaldinho Meets Up With Carles Puyol, Casually Nutmegs Him

Ronaldinho Meets Up With Carles Puyol, Casually Nutmegs Him

Cheeky.

If Ronaldinho gets presented with the opportunity to nutmeg someone, you better believe he'll be taking it.

His latest victim; ex-Barcelona teammate Carles Puyol.

Puyol is completely unaware of his surroundings, chatting away before Ronaldinho savagely pokes the ball through his legs.

The Spaniard looks below in disbelief, hilariously shoving the Brazilian legend.

He's been retired for a years now and If you didn't watch the man in his prime, go over to YouTube and watch some of his highlights.

You won't regret it.

In one of his most famous moments, which ironically was before kick-off, Ronaldinho smashed the ball into the sky, took it down with ease and nonchalantly humiliated his teammate with a 'Flip-Flap'.

Can we just turn back time, steal him from the clutches of Barcelona and throw him back in the fold this season? Pure filth.

Ronaldinho constantly produced magic off the pitch, as well, and Nike struck gold when they decided to put the Brazilian to work in order to promote their latest pair of Nike Tiempo boots.

What followed is almost three minutes of footage that would prompt debate as to whether it was actually legitimate.

But even if Ronaldinho isn't actually playing 'keepie uppie one-two's' with the crossbar, it doesn't take away from our enjoyment of the video.

The advert became the first video to record 1 million views on YouTube, which is a monumental achievement considering it was back in 2005 where Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites weren't even a thing.

10 years on, Nike would then re-release the video on their channel to mark its anniversary and the commercial currently sits on over 8 million views.

And only the other day, the Ballon d'Or winner starred in another Nike advert when he was one of many big names to start in the 'Awaken the Phantom' clip.

Legend.
