The time Ronaldinho's leg was nearly broken
Ronaldinho was at the peak of his career when a dangerous kick almost broke his leg. During a Copa Libertadores 2013 match against Arsenal de Sarandi, Ronaldinho was the star, leading his team to an early lead. Frustrated, the opposing players targeted him with aggressive fouls. Shockingly, the referee did not issue a red card for the severe foul against Ronaldinho. Despite this, Ronaldinho missed a penalty and faced intense physical play. The incident highlighted how talented players often become victims of harsh tactics, with referees sometimes failing to protect them. Ronaldinho's career could have ended that night, but he went on to lead Atletico Mineiro to victory in the Copa Libertadores.
