Ronaldinho Proves He's Still Got It With Two Skilful Goals In Rio. Ronaldinho can still produce magic at the age of 38 and he proved it over the weekend as Brazil thrashed Japan 11-4 on a beach in Rio de Janeiro.
The former Barcelona playmaker, wearing the famous No 10 shirt, scored a superb hat-trick to the delight of the crowd who had gathered to bid farewell to retiring beach football legend Jorginho.

The 44-year-old walks away from the sandy sport having scored 315 goals in 303 games for Brazil, making him the nation's third-highest scorer, behind Nenem and Junior Negao.
After the match, Jorginho and Ronaldinho swapped their No 10 jerseys.
Jorginho was seen in tears, while Ronaldinho was also emotional.
'You deserve everything, everything, everything,' Ronaldinho said. 'You deserve it, it was a very special day in my life.'
This was not the first time that Ronaldinho has played beach football but, unlike Jorginho, he made his name in the 11-a-side format.
Ronaldinho's career highlights include winning the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and the Champions League with Barcelona four years later.
