Ronaldinho lit up the pitch once again in Tbilisi, Georgia, where the FC Barcelona Legends defeated Geo 11, a team made up of former local players, with a final score of 3–1. The match, held at the Dinamo Arena in front of more than 45,000 spectators, turned into a nostalgic celebration of football greatness and unforgettable skill.

Bicycle, Elastico, and a Show of Respect

The highlight of the night came courtesy of Ronaldinho, who proved that magic doesn’t age. In a sequence that quickly went viral, the 45-year-old Brazilian stunned a defender with a bicycle move and followed it up with an “elastico” inside the box. The play was so impressive that the opposing player responded with a bow, acknowledging the Brazilian's legendary talent.

Although Ronaldinho didn’t score, he was instrumental in several attacking plays, delivering two assists and thrilling the crowd with every touch and trick. His joyful style and flair once again reminded everyone why he remains one of football’s most beloved icons.

Saviola and Soriano Round Out the Party

Argentine striker Javier Saviola also shone, scoring twice and proving that at 43, his killer instinct remains sharp. He leveled the score in the 34th minute following a fluid team move initiated by Ronaldinho, who found Fernando Navarro for the assist. In the second half, Jonathan Soriano gave the Blaugrana Legends the lead with a solo effort before setting up Saviola for the third goal.

Geo 11 had taken the early lead through Navalovski, who headed in a goal from a corner in the 24th minute. Despite their strong start, they couldn’t contain the technical brilliance of the Barça Legends. Earlier, a goal by Jari Litmanen following a moment of brilliance by Ronaldinho was disallowed for offside.

The event was packed with emotion and admiration. Shota Arveladze, Georgian football icon and the match organizer, announced that the Real Madrid Legends are expected to play in Tbilisi in 2026.

Once again, Ronaldinho showed that his footballing genius is timeless. Every flick, pass, and smile reminded fans of why he remains a global treasure in the world of football.
