Barcelona Legends 1 Manchester United Legends 3: Ronaldinho steals the show but only after Dwight Yorke’s screamer at the Nou Camp

BARCELONA hero Ronaldinho stole the show in a legends match against Manchester United – but only after Dwight Yorke rolled back the years with a screamer.

The former Red Devils striker, 45, drove one in from 25 yards as United ran out 3-1 winners at the Nou Camp.

And it was further goals from Jesper Blomqvist and Karel Poborsky against a sole Frederic Behu strike for the hosts that sealed the win in the charity match.
Yorke was of course part of that Treble-winning United side of 1999 that clinched the Champions League in the city.
And he looked to have lost hardly any of the old magic with his stunner.
The Barcelona side featured iconic names of the past, including Rivaldo, Edgar Davids and Patrick Kluivert.
And it was Ronaldinho, 37, who almost got on the scoresheet first with a long-range free kick, only for the effort to be saved by Raymond Van der Gouw.
The Brazil legend might not have notched a goal – he was voted Man of the Match – but he did completely humiliate Blomqvist with a soul-crushing nutmeg.
