Brazilian footballing wizard Ronaldinho officially retired on Tuesday, according to ESPN. The announcement came from his brother Roberto Assis in a column penned for a Brazilian media outlet. Ronaldinho hasn’t played for a professional club since he left Fluminense in 2015, but hadn’t officially retired. Ronaldinho is the first footballer to find fame on YouTube with his near-mythical skill level and chicanery on the football field finding him in the first video on the platform to hit the mn-view mark. Truly one of the all time greats (watch, runtime 2:46).
