A good-natured moment between Ronaldinho and Marcelo went viral during the legendary classic between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, played at the BMO Stadium, in Los Angeles.
The meeting of veterans ended in a 1-1 draw, with goals from Javier Saviola and David Barral, but it was an episode outside the direct dispute that ended up stealing the attention.
Marcelo was preparing to put the ball back into play when he was jokingly pushed by Ronaldinho, falling theatrically onto the pitch. The former Brazilian star immediately helped his compatriot to get up, in a moment of complicity that ended with a hug and smiles between them.
The gesture generated applause in the stands and quickly began to circulate on social media, being shared as one of the most memorable moments of the game. Ronaldinho was, in fact, one of the most applauded figures of the night and was also linked to the first goal, when he made the deep pass to Jonathan Soriano, who assisted Saviola to score Barcelona’s goal.
Simply MARCELO and RONALDINHO GAÚCHO in the game between Real Madrid legends and Barcelona.
