Netflix Brazil presents a new documentary miniseries dedicated to the journey of Ronaldinho Gaúcho, one of the greatest names in the history of world football. The production, divided into three episodes, premieres on April 16 and promises to delve into the highs and lows of the star's career, featuring exclusive footage and testimonials from personalities like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., and Roberto Carlos.

Ronaldinho Gaúcho was the best in the world for two seasons (2005 and 2006) and made history with the Barcelona jersey. He also played for giants such as Grêmio, PSG, Milan, Flamengo, Atlético-MG, and Fluminense. He was also a world champion with the Brazilian National Team in 2002.
