Former Barcelona star Ronaldinho showed off his skills away from the pitch by rapping during last weekend's carnival in the Brazilian city of Salvador.

The 33-year-old is said to have previously stated that he wants to launch a music career once he retires from football, and now, the forward has given fans a taster of what could come.

According to 101greatgoals.com, Ronaldinho was joined by local artist EdCity on an open-top bus during the carnival to perform his rapping talent.

Reports have claimed that after a night of partying, Ronaldinho turned up late for training at Atletico Mineiro on Monday.
