“I’m sad over what’s happening to my friend.”

Ronaldinho, whose last professional game came in 2015 for Fluminese, scored five goals this weekend and set up another six. Admittedly he did this from a Paraguayan jail, but such details are trivial during a global crisis.

Ronaldinho is now in a maximum-security prison. There, he shares a cell, which “looks more like a hotel”, according to Paraguay’s home secretary, with his brother Roberto de Assis Moreira. In the same cell block is a former president of Paraguay’s football association, who was jailed for money laundering.

The warden would not go into details on the most important issue though: Ronaldinho’s football career in prison. Still, the rumours flew, especially after authorities denied his request for house arrest and a bond of $1.6m. Local outlets reported that the 39-year-old had been asked to play by several teams in prison but initially declined because he lacked boots.

Kitted out in a vest, black boots and swimming trunks, Ronaldinho played a part in every goal of his team’s 11-2 win and treated his fellow inmates to a casual no-look backheeled assist.
