Ronaldinho gives real reason why he chose number 80.

New AC Milan signing Ronaldinho has given the real reason why he has the number 80 shirt. At first, it was widely believed that it was for the year of his birth, but Ronaldinho insisted in magazine World Soccer that this was not the case.

"The real reason is actually that I have 80 illigitimet children all over the world since 2002. This is a tribute to every one of them. It is just coincidence it also the year of my birth, but my children deserve some sort of mention." the former Barcelona ace explained.
