If you thought that Neymar and Luis Suarez overreacted when Luis Enrique told them to come out of the game, Ronaldinho went two steps further and left the stadium before the game was over. Victor Manuel Vucetich decided to get Ronaldinho off the pitch early in the game and the Brazilian star went straight to the locker rooms.
The game was already 2-0 in favor of Pachuca, and Queretaro manager decided it was time to get Ricardo Osorio in to try and help the defensive unit of the team before receiving another goal.
Dinho did not like it one bit. As soon as he heard his name called to leave the field, his immediate reaction was to head towards the locker rooms with only one minute to go in the first half. That would be the last time fans at "Estadio Hidalgo" saw Dinho that day.

Then, after spending some time in the locker room, he decided it was not worth to stay and support his team. The number 49 of Gallos took his belongings and left in his SUV that was waiting for him outside the locker rooms.
When the manager was questioned about his decision he replied it was to make it harder on Pachuca to score another goal. The strategy worked as the game ended 2-0 and now Queretaro will host the second leg this Sunday at Estadio Corregidora. He then added that the discipline issue would be treated behind closed doors.
Dinho going, going, gone!
Ronaldinho has one year left of contract after this season with the Mexican team, but could be playing his final game this Sunday. Rumours link him to a move towards the MLS with Los Angeles Galaxy.
