I am glad it didn’t work out with Barcelona. I don’t like the idea of Ronaldo and Messi playing in the same club. Both playing for different clubs have given the world the two best and greatest footballers of all time.

Ronaldinho at Barca was amazing and the bond that he shared with Messi was a treat to watch. :heart_eyes:

Who can forget this iconic picture from May 2005 when Ronaldinho assisted Messi’s first ever senior goal for FC Barcelona. :star_struck: The rest, as they say, is history.
