Brazil Legend Ronaldinho scored an outrageous overhead kick in a surprise appearance on the Turkish reality TV show ‘Survivor’.
Ronaldinho was a shock guest on the show, which has begun airing in Turkey.
The host of the program, Acun Ilıcalı, shocked viewers by announcing that Ronaldinho, would be joining Survivor.
“I asked Ronaldinho to come, and he said yes,” Ilıcalı stated.
“I told Ronaldinho to come to Survivor and play foot tennis. He will be with us in Dominica today,” He continued.
Ronaldinho looked in incredible shape during his appearance and rolled back the years with an outrageous bicycle kick whilst playing beach football.
The Brazilian controlled the ball with his chest in trademark fashion before leaping into the air and acrobatically firing the ball into the corner of the net.
He also showcased his versatility by participating in a game of ‘footvolley’ which he unsurprisingly showed off his technical prowess and continued to roll back the years.
One interesting detail is that Ronaldinho was wearing a Jayson Tatum Boston Celtics jersey while filming the episode.
Since retiring from football in 2018, Ronaldinho has had a rather eventful life which included spending 32 days in a Paraguayan prison.
The Ballon d’Or winner was arrested in 2020 for allegedly attempting to enter Paraguay with fake documentation alongside his brother.
Ronaldinho’s original sentence was for 6 months, but he was released after his lawyers paid $1.6 million in bail, and $800,000 for him and his brother respectively.
