FOOTBALL legend Ronaldinho will return to the pitch THIS WEEKEND.

The iconic Brazilian winger is back in action after signing with Italian Serie C side Ravenna as a player AND shareholder.

And fans were delighted to find out that they can watch his comeback live for free.

Sky Sports have revealed that they will broadcast his return live on their football YouTube channel.

Promotion-chasing Ravenna will host Forli in a Group B clash on Sunday

And Sky’s broadcast will go live for kick-off at 4.30 UK time for fans looking to see if 46-year-old Ronaldinho still has some of his signature magic.

Ronaldinho hung up the boots 11 years ago after a spell with Brazilian side Fluminense.

But now the former Barcelona and AC Milan man is hoping to turn home one last strike to cap off his career.

He is currently sat on 299 senior goals, and has a desire to make it an even 300.

Club owner Ignazio Cipriani insisted his signing was more than a move to drum up interest in the team.

He explained: “This is not window dressing or a marketing stunt.

“Ronaldinho will become a shareholder in Ravenna FC — that is the central point of the operation.

“He has also chosen to make an extraordinary gift to the city and to his new club: he will take to the pitch for Ravenna in an official professional match, with one clear and romantic aim — to try to score the final goal of his career.”

It is not known what kind of training he has undertaken to get ready for the return, but he has not participated in any sort of pre-season with his new side.
