Ronaldinho's free-kick goal recalls his best days

(Patria) - 2005 Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldinho Gaucho (44) scored a fantastic free-kick goal, recalling his best days in a match between Barcelona legends and Real Madrid legends played in Doha.

The Brazilian, at 16 minutes with the score at 1-0, placed the ball a few meters outside the penalty area and with a precise shot, lobbed the wall and hit the top corner, a goal that Madrid goalkeeper Francisco Buyo could only watch.

In a match full of excitement, the Catalan club's legends took the lead with a goal from Juan Pablo Sorin in the 8th minute, while Ronaldinho's goal doubled Barcelona's lead.

However, the Royal Club's legends made a comeback in the second half.

First, Luis Figo reduced the deficit in the 58th minute with an assist from Edwin Conga, who scored five minutes later himself, leveling the match.

The score remained unchanged until the end of the match, although Patrick Kluivert missed a penalty.

The winner was decided by a penalty shootout, with Barcelona legends celebrating a 4-2 victory.

Madrid will be able to seek "revenge" as early as next month when the two rivals meet again in Tokyo.
