Hours ago, a list with quite a few names of soccer legends went viral on the internet. Apart from the legendary Ronaldinho and Aguero, there are big names like Gonzalo Higuaín, Javier Zanetti, Leonardo Ponzio, etc listed from South American soccer nations. They will participate in a ‘legends match’ that will happen on December 5 in Inter Miami’s DRV PNK stadium.

The presence of Ronaldinho on the pitch will add a much-needed charm to the sport in the country. After the arrival of ex-Barcelona stars like Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba, the fanbase will be excited to see the veterans link up with their old pal Sergio Aguero. This will surely be one of the biggest matches in terms of attendance in Miami before the Copa America kicks off.

This legends game will give the fans a bit of nostalgia while they enjoy their childhood soccer favorites. While the current headlines surround the surprise arrival of Ronaldinho in the USA, an aging Lionel Messi is not showing any signs of slowing down in terms of form.
