Golazo: Ronaldinho vs Boavista, Carioca 2011

On 27 February 2011 Flamengo faced Boavista in the final of the Campeonato Carioca in Brazil. Flamengo won the game 1-0 thanks to this free kick from former Barcelona and AC Milan player Ronaldinho. The fact that Flamengo could afford to bring back the two time World Footballer of the year relatively early in his career is a demonstration of the growing financial strength of the Brazilian domestic game.

For several years Ronaldinho was the undisputed king of clever tricks and flicks.

You have to laugh at the way Ronaldinho lashed out at his opponent when he realised that he'd been done.
