Real Madrid legend spotted 'laughing to himself' and visiting Liverpool city centre bar

Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has been spotted enjoying himself in Liverpool ahead of tonight's Champions League action.

The former Brazil international is now a club ambassador for the Spanish giants - but he may also be singing the praises of Mathew Street after today.

Photos seen by the ECHO show Carlos, 49, with a beaming smile as he took in the sights and sounds of the famous city centre spot.

One image shared on social media claimed to show "a quarter of his baldy head" as he apparently made his way in SGT Peppers bar this afternoon.

The fan who took that snap said on Twitter: "Roberto Carlos just wandering round Mathew Street hahahaha."

"Just heard some fella shout Roberto, looked up and he’s just on his own wandering about laughing to himself."

Carlos was collared for plenty of photos on his flying visit - including by a few doormen from nearby venues.

Liverpool take on Madrid in a round of 16 first leg clash at Anfield tonight.

Kick off this evening is at 8pm, with the return tie at the Bernabeu next month.
