Ronaldo Nazario is regarded by many as the greatest forward soccer has ever seen. The Brazilian scored some great goals in his days, but what amazed many about him was the quality of the teams he played for. Apart from being a part of the golden era in the history of Brazilian football, Ronaldo played for some iconic teams, including Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan.
The Brazilian remains the youngest player to win the FIFA Best Player and Ballon d’Or awards, which he won at 20 and 21, respectively. However, during his time at Barcelona, the star forward was caught having the time of his life!
The day Ronaldo Nazario was caught having thre***me inside Camp Nou’s presidential box
Ronaldo was a revelation for PSV in the Dutch League, and it was only a matter of time before a big club snapped him up to play for the big dogs. Barcelona came calling in 1996 and splashed some money on the 20-year-old, tying him to an 8-year contract, according to manager Bobby Robson. Ronaldo made an instant impact at Camp Nou, lighting Barcelona on fire and scoring 47 goals in his debut season at the club.
Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo was given preferential treatment over other players at the club. One day, Ronaldo came into the stadium park with two women escorting him. He left for the director’s box in the stadium, and after a while, a worried security guard decided to look for him. Ronaldo was found in the act with these two women having the time of his life, with the Brazilian rewarding himself for how much impact he’d had on the club at the time.
Sadly, Ronaldo spent just one season at Barcelona before moving to Inter Milan after the Spanish giants failed to agree to extend the Brazilian’s contract to keep him at the club.
Ex-Barcelona president had interesting reaction to Ronaldo Nazario’s Camp Nou incident
Although Ronaldo Nazario’s time at Barcelona wasn’t long, as he only spent one season there, many loved him, including club president Josep Nunez. After the Brazilian was caught in the presidential box enjoying himself with two ladies, the security guard notified the president, who gave a hilarious response. “Ronaldo is 20, at that age, he’s entitled to have some fun,” the president said.
Nunez lost Ronaldo after just one season at the club, as the Brazilian moved to Italy to play for Inter in 1997. To this day, he is regarded as one of the deadliest strikers that football has ever seen.
