Barcelona site Pelikano questions the age of former Barcelona playmaker Ronaldinho, who officially celebrated his 28th birthday last March.

The site claims that during the party for his last birthday Ronaldinho asked to put two extra candles on the cake before blowing out the candles and doing the traditional wishes. The Brazilian cheered that he was actually 30 years old.

It would be a common practive for Brazilian players to take a couple of years of their real age, because it's quite easy to change the legal documents and it can make them gain more money.
