We’ve all cracked the joke about him looking like a bit of a horse with those teeth, I’ll admit that I have done it too, but when Ronaldinho was in his truly brilliant prime with Barcelona there was no greater sight in football.
This El Clasico encounter from the 2005/2006 season was perhaps his defining moment in a Barcelona shirt: the biggest game of the season for both teams and Ronaldinho puts on one of the best individual performances ever seen on a football pitch.
When you’re a Barcelona player playing at the Bernabeu and the Real Madrid fans are applauding the outstanding tekkers you have put on display then you know you are doing something right.
Ronaldinho’s sublime showing against Real Madrid is up there with Zinedine Zidane’s schooling of Brazil in the 2006 World Cup. True class.
