Brazilian football legend Ronaldinho always played with a smile on his face, and hence it may be hard for fans to picture the former Barcelona forward looking depressed. The former Ballon d’Or winner has revealed that he was in a tough situation in 2020, when he was jailed for a month in Paraguay, after entering the country using a fake passport.
In his recent Netflix documentary, Ronaldinho opened up on the “worst moment” of his life. “Why did I have the passport? It was given to me. That person came to my house to hand it over,” Ronaldinho was quoted as saying by British tabloid The Sun.
