Ronaldinho, 44, turned heads as he travelled around in an eye-catching pink Rolls-Royce with a huge Nike tick on the side.
He first arrived at the sportswear brand’s Oxford Street store, parking outside and getting out the car holding a brief case and new boots.
Hundreds began to gather around the vehicle as they held their phones aloft to get a glimpse of Ronaldinho.
And the chaos saw a roadblock form with buses caught in the congestion.
The Barcelona legend then hopped back in the car and was driven to Powerleague in Shepherd’s Bush.
He was mobbed by fans as he made his way to a seven-a-side pitch as he joined in with a training session alongside local kids.
Supporters could not believe the Ballon d’Or winner was on an adventure around London, with one saying: “I’ve just seen Ronaldinho at Shepherds Bush. I’m not ashamed to say I lost a little composure.”
Another added: “Saw Ronaldinho and forgot how to act.”

A third commented: “He is a football God.”
More reacted: “He shuts down everywhere he goes.”
Ronaldinho was in the capital to launch Nike‘s new “Mad Brilliance” range.
The bright pink boots are set to be worn by the likes of Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho as they take on Real Madrid in tonight’s final.
