TIL Ronaldo and Ronaldinho aren't the same person.

Ronaldinho’s real name is actually Ronaldo though.

Ronaldinho is a nickname meaning “small Ronaldo”.

Of course, he’s not the same as the famous “Ronaldo” who played for Brazil.

Who is also obviously not the same as the also very famous Portuguese player “Christiano Ronaldo”.

I remember when Cristiano Ronaldo first started playing in the British Premier League.

The crowd were chanting:

"There's only one Ronaldo...AND IT'S NOT YOU!"

It was funny, but he pretty much showed them.

I only stopped hearing fake Ronaldo when he was entering his 30s.
