Two-time FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or winner of 2005, Ronaldinho turned the Camp Nou into a nightly cinema. He lifted the 2002 World Cup with Brazil, the 2006 Champions League with Barcelona, and made entire defences look unsure of where the ball would arrive next. The smile mattered too — football, briefly, was fun again.

Three things to drop into conversation
- 01Nicknamed Ronaldinho — 'little Ronaldo' — because he was the smallest player in every youth side he ever lined up for.
- 02Scored all 23 goals in a single youth match aged 13, which got him onto Brazilian TV for the first time.
- 03Received a standing ovation at the Santiago Bernabéu in 2005 — a tribute Real Madrid fans had previously reserved for Maradona.
