Ronaldinho takes part in a behind-bars football tournament as he looks to pass the time in a Paraguayan prison, with the prize at stake a 16-kilogram suckling pig.

The 39-year-old has been detained after being arrested for allegedly attempting to enter the South American country with a fake passport alongside his brother.
And the former Brazil star will be playing in a tournament with fellow detainees in order to win the unorthodox prize, according to ABC TV Paraguay.
Ronaldinho would prove a valuable asset to whichever team he represents, although conversations have taken place saying the Brazilian is not allowed to score, should he take part.
The prize is a far cry from the gong he won in 2002 with his country as Brazil lifted the World Cup for a fifth time. Ronaldinho's lawyer has branded his client 'stupid' over the incident which has landed him in jail.
Adolfo Marin, the legal representative for the former Barcelona star, said that Ronaldinho was unaware that traveling to another country with a false passport was illegal.
'The courts have not taken into account the fact that Ronaldinho didn't know he was committing a crime,' he told Folha de Sao Paulo. 'Because he didn't understand he had been given false documents. He is stupid.'

from Professional footballer to be Prison Player is hard to digest. from Player of the year award to Pig winning Prize is most disgraceful. whatever the moments became, Ronaldinho Gaucho still has the Perfect touch.
