Ronaldinho’s son, 18, ‘stuck in the shadows’ at Barcelona since making debut against Man Utd

Ronaldinho’s son has amassed a huge social media following despite his limited game time

RONALDINHO’S son Joao Mendes has reportedly found himself “stuck in the shadows” since joining Barcelona B.

The youngster joined the Spanish giants earlier this year.

Ronaldinho was delighted his son joined Barca

But unlike his superstar father, Mendes has struggled to make his stamp on the club.

He made his debut in a friendly against Manchester United youth team in February but his game time has been limited since then.

Mendes, 18, had to wait two months until his next game, which came in the Mediterranean International Cup.

He then started against Damm earlier this month, but he has still only totalled 89 minutes played this season.

The youngster shared an image of himself taken from that game alongside the caption: “God is great.”

He boasts 543,000 Instagram followers where he regularly shares photos of him on the pitch.

Mendes also posts photos of himself with Giovanna Buscacio, wishing her a happy birthday a few weeks ago.

The striker’s deal is understood to run until the end of the season.

After he signed for Barcelona, Ronaldinho said: “I’m never out of the club. Barcelona is part of life. Wherever I go I take Barcelona with me.

“With the arrival of my son at Barca I’ll be more present than ever.”
