Ronaldinho: Brazil icon looked furious after being nutmegged by TikTok star

 

Recent footage has appeared on social media showing Ronaldinho getting nutmegged by TikTok star Ferjani Safi.

The Brazil and Barcelona legend was known for his extravagant tricks and inclination for the spectacular in his playing days.

He would frequently dazzle opposition players and fans alike with a whole host of the naughtiest tricks we’re ever borne witness to on a football pitch.

So much so, that he once even received a standing ovation from a starstruck Bernabeu crowd when playing there for Real Madrid’s arch-rivals, Barcelona.

However, a recent video that’s picked up no less than 18.1 million views on TikTok has shown the superstar getting beaten at his own game.

Ferjani Safi, the man responsible for the dirty work, has made a name for himself by nutmegging people in public places across the globe, with even police officers falling victim to his jibes.

And when Ronaldinho was getting shown around on a guided tour, Safi waited for the legend around the side of a doorway and caught him napping.

After the ball went through the 2005 Ballon d’Or winner’s legs, he turned around in shock and looked to boot the ball away in anger.

We’re sure it was nothing overly serious on Ronaldinho’s part, more jokey if anything, but he was certainly low-key peeved off with what had just gone on.

Check out the video for yourself below.

Ouch! Safi has looked to add insult to injury by changing his TikTok name to ‘I NUTMEGGED @ronaldinho’

He’s done the King and now he wants to bask in the glory, fair play, we probably would to.

But Ronaldinho can take solace in the fact that he will forever be known as one of football’s ultimate tricksters.

Real Madrid's Thibaut Courtois pointed to tattoo when Atletico fan taunted him

Thibaut Courtois isn’t exactly an adored figure amongst Atletico Madrid fans.

At least, not these days, that is, because the Belgian shot-stopper was indeed a huge hit across a three-year loan spell at the club between 2011 and 2014 that ultimately launched his career into the stratosphere.

The Chelsea loanee bagged back-to-back Ricardo Zamora Trophies between the sticks for Los Rojiblancos as well as winning the La Liga title and reaching a Champions League final.

Courtois’ relationship with Atletico fans

And while their initial divorce was an amicable one with Courtois recalled to his parent club, let’s just say that the goalkeeper’s eventual return to Spain wasn’t met with quite the same level of understanding.

That’s because Courtois took the decision to sign for Atletico’s fiercest local rivals, Real Madrid, cuing furious responses from certain sections of support on the red and white side of the city.

As such, it should come as no surprise to learn that Courtois’ subsequent returns to the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium haven’t exactly seen him greeted with open arms, hugs and kisses.

And ahead of a particularly tense instalment in the long history of the Madrid derby on Sunday night, Courtois was given the sort of welcome that any player moving between major rivals can come to expect from football fans.

In fact, the 30-year-old must have been acutely aware of some of the taunting and abuse that was being hurled his way by the home fans based on remarkable footage released by Spanish television channel GOL PLAY.

It shows Courtois receiving pelters from one particularly animated Atletico fan who, based on the subtitles and our attempts on Google Translate, seems to be obsessed with getting the Belgian to look in his direction.

But the Real shot-stopper was hardly phased by the taunting and actually seemed to be enjoying it to an extent, lapping up the comments by cracking a few smiles and nonchalant facial expressions.

However, Courtois truly outdid himself when the footage revealed him pointing towards the tattoo of the Champions League trophy that he got inked on his left foreman over the summer.

With Atletico having never lifted ‘Big Ears’ and Courtois finally getting his hands on the trophy with the club’s local rivals, it was really was the perfect dig in response, so be sure to check out the footage down below:

You’ve got to say that was a pretty good move from Courtois there.

Courtois’ Champions League tattoo

The ex-Chelsea goalkeeper produced a Man of the Match performance during Real Madrid’s 1-0 win over Liverpool on May 28, hence his tattoo showing a football goal as bricked up and graffitied with his initials on it.

And given that Atletico have never won the trophy that Real have lifted no less than 14 times, even losing twice in finals to Los Blancos, it was a pretty ‘game, set and match’ kind of insult from the Belgian.

Thankfully for Courtois, too, it didn’t come back to bite him as his Real side maintained their lead at the La Liga summit with a 2-1 win at the Wanda courtesy of goals from Rodrygo Goes and Federico Valverde.

Better luck next time, Atletico.
