Ronaldinho ditches Barcelona game for day at the beach on first day of new role

RONALDINHO appears to have chilled out on a beach instead of watching Barcelona take on Deportivo.

The Brazilian icon was recently appointed as club ambassador at Barca and he was set to attend the Nou Camp on Saturday in his new role, but he did not turn up.

It turns out, that with his box being empty at the Nou Camp, Ronaldinho instead chose to kick back on a nearby beach in Barcelona.

The 36-year-old posted this image on social media of him relaxing on Castelldefels beach, which is a ten minute drive from the Nou Camp.
