Vinicius Jr brought back 'Joga Bonito' in the charity game put on by Ronaldinho and Roberto Carlos on Saturday night.
The pair of Brazilian legends called upon greats from past and present for the exhibition clash at Inter Miami's DRV PNK Stadium.
Paulo Dybala, Paul Pogba, Alphonso Davies, Radamel Falcao, Arturo Vidal and Eder Militao were just some of the current professionals who graced the turf alongside icons like Cafu, Rivaldo and Carlos Valderrama.

But it was Vinicius, the match-winner for Real Madrid in the Champions League final against Liverpool in Paris, who put on a real show for the fans in attendance.
And at one point in the game, the 21-year-old produced some serious Samba magic.
He was fed on the left wing and had loads of space to drive into. But Vinicius chose to express himself and started juggling the ball on his head like he was prime Kerlon - the master of the seal dribble.

A few keepy uppies completed the entertaining passage of play before Vinicius passed the ball.
Vinicius linked up glorious with Ronaldinho in the first half, receiving a pass from the 2005 Ballon d'Or winner and slotting home.
In a beautiful nod to his idol, he performed R10's trademark dance routine after finding the net.

The Flamengo youth product switched sides in the second half and also found the net for Carlos' team, who went on to win 12-10 in the high-scoring fixture.
