One of the world’s most famous TikTokers Khaby Lame had the ball blasted in his face from Ronaldinho’s cross.
Lame, who has 160million followers on TikTok, played in the Brazilian maestro’s ‘The Beautiful Game’ charity football match in Orlando.
Ronaldinho captained one side whilst former Brazil teammate Roberto Carlos captained the other side in an entertaining spectacle featuring Samba stars and celebrities.
The Soccer Aid-style game was abandoned early following multiple cases of pitch invasions from fans, combined with torrential rain on the hour mark.
But the game had enough time to see seven goals as Ronaldinho’s side won 4-3, but there was also time for Lame to grab the most viral moment of the game.
Lame made an unmarked run towards the opposing penalty box, which was spotted by Ronaldinho, the 2005 Ballon d’Or winner looked to pick out the French TikToker, who in attempting to control the ball lost its flight before it whacked him in the face.

Following the game, Lame posted a clip of the incident on his TikTok and Twitter page with the caption: “At the beginning of the game I said to Ronaldinho: “Make sure if you have to rely on someone, don’t pass the ball to me! Hahahahahaha. I am only good at running!
“I had a really good time with you guys, and I’m proud to be able to tell my kids one day that Ronaldinho made a cross for me, and I got the ball in my face!”
Lame has found fame on TikTok from his sarcastic reviews and comedy, and for sure this incident fits his persona.
The French sensation played alongside retired Brazil stars such as Ronaldo, Cafu and Rivaldo as well as current Real Madrid aces Vinicius Jr, Eder Militao and former Tottenham Hotspur forward Lucas Moura.
