The Brazillian was at his scintillating best

Rijkaard’s Barcelona side were already the champions in Spain but they were yet to make a statement to every club they were competing with. Come November 2005, they got what they wanted.

The Brazillian illusionist, the sorcerer, the player who always has a smile on his face was at his magical best as he ripped the Real Madrid side to shreds in an attacking display that everyone present at the Bernabeu would remember all their life.

His performance was so amazing that it made the Santiago Bernabeu rise to their feet and give the genius a standing ovation, previously only received by Diego Maradona, after he scored the second of his two goals.

Loser - Sergio Ramos

FC Barcelona v Real Madrid CF - La Liga
He recently broke the record for the most number of Red cards

Unfortunate for Sergio Ramos. He has grown so much in recent times but back in 2005 he was still a reckless and childish right-back and when the team from Catalonia came to his town, he was the victim of Ronaldinho’s performance of a lifetime.

He had the opportunity to defuse the brilliant Brazilian twice and both times he chose to dive in and make the unfruitful tackle. It is irrelevant to even say that Ronaldinho blew past him both times like he wasn’t even there before humiliating Iker Casillas with two deadly finishes.
