Acomedic story about Ronaldinho has emerged from the time he played in a futsal tournament in India in 2017.
The former Barcelona star featured in one game during the tournament, but it was his behaviour before the match that stuck in the mind.
"We went to India to do this Premier Futsal tournament - it was absolutely bonkers," commentator Sam Matterface told Talksport.
"Oh my word... well he only played one game. They paid him a huge amount of money to come over and play a certain number of minutes over the course of group games. Cafu took over him then - not a bad replacement!
"He came and played for one game, scored five goals - went viral, like literally went viral - then went off... that was it. He was done.
"I think he stayed for one of the party nights - in fact I'm pretty sure he stayed for one of the party nights.
"But to get him to play that game everyone was panicking, because he was nowhere to be seen. It wasn't the slickest and most organised event - put it that way.
"So where was Ronaldinho? Everyone was in the dressing room asking where he was. Well, he was in a car in a car park having a nap.
"Someone knocked on the window asking him, 'can you come in?'
"He was literally in his kit, walked out of the car, into the arena, scored five goals, went off - that was it. It was unbelievable. He was absolutely different class. It was a wonderful tournament."
