"I officially decided to end my career as a football player as of this year," Ronaldinho announced in a video on his Twitter page. "Thanks for all the support.

"From now, I will be involved in the football school and music industry. This year I will hold retirement matches in various places.

Ronaldinho made 198 appearances during his time in Catalonia and it was during his five-year spell at the Camp Nou where the former Brazil international cemented his place in the history books of European football.

The 37-year-old secured six major honours during his time with the Blaugrana whilst also lifting the World Cup in 2002, just one year after moving from Grêmio to Paris Saint-Germain.
