We are only a day away from the moment when the 2022 FIFA World Cup finally kicks in. While some legendary footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will play their final World Cup in Qatar before retiring, some others will be altogether missed on the field, but will definitely accompany us as spectators right next to the football field. One of the legends we will not see on the field is Ronaldinho from Brazil.

Ronaldinho played his first World Cup in 2002 alongside the likes of Ronaldo and Rivaldo and helped Brazil lift the trophy for the fifth amazing time. Brazil is yet to win another FIFA World Cup since Ronaldo, Rivaldo, and Ronaldinho played alongside. Recently, a resurfaced picture of Ronaldinho and boxing legend Mike Tyson went viral on Facebook.
