He recently signed on for a starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster, and so Soccer Aid seemed the perfect place to smooth the transition for the legendary Ronaldinho.

Within seconds he had laid waste to both ITV presenter Ben Shephard and former Manchester United defender Phil Neville, to the guffaws of the Old Trafford crowd and the considerable embarrassment of Neville in particular.

The apology from Ronaldinho to a sheepish Neville at the end was arguably the highlight of the entire sequence, however. If anything, Phil Neville should have been apologising for not making more room for the great man to casually roll the ball between his legs.
