We live in a social media age, and while people used to ask for autographs, the new holy grail is a selfie with your favourite sports star or celebrity.
In the desperate bid to get that selfie, it seems that there's no such thing as a private moment for public figures anymore, as proven by this rather extraordinary incident involving Ronaldinho earlier this week.
The former Barcelona and AC Milan footballer had a bit of an accident while driving home, and ended up crashing into a ditch. Thankfully, it doesn't look as though any major damage was done and everyone seems to be ok, but one particular fan thought that, with their favourite footballer standing by the side of the road, there would be no better time to snap a quick picture with him.
The resulting photo highlights just how wrong that was, as Ronnie looks like he really, really doesn't want to be there.

Of course, it could also have something to do with the fact that he was released from Fluminense earlier this week having made just nine appearances for the club, and didn't register a goal or an assist. He was eventually booed by the club's own fans.
Ronaldinho Gaúcho played only 9 games for Fluminense and was poor, he didn't score any goals, made no assists and was booed by Flu fans.

Here's hoping things get better next week for him.
