Adriano bids farewell to the Maracana, eight years after his last match

Played in front of more than 20,000 spectators, this jubilee pitted the “legends” of Flamengo, its training club, against the “Friends of Italy” (4-3). Now aged 42, Adriano Leite Ribeiro, nicknamed in Italy “the Imperatore” (“the Emperor”) during his time of splendor in the early 2000s, scored for each of the two teams, alongside his son Adrianinho.
