5 Footballers who have silenced the Santiago Bernabeu

#1 Ronaldinho (Barcelona, LaLiga 2005)

This was a complete performance by arguably the greatest entertainer in football and Real fans got to their feet and applauded the work of a genius

The Brazilian was on fire when Barcelona visited their arch-rivals at their home pitch in 2005 pulling arguably one of his best performance as a Barcelona player.

Perhaps the game's most memorable moment was the standing ovation the Bernabeu gave Ronaldinho after the Brazilian scored the third Barcelona goal, his second amazing goal of the game.

Only Diego Maradona had received a standing ovation as a Barcelona player at the Bernabeu before.

Barcelona had earlier got the lead through Samuel Eto'o and what followed in the second half was the 'Ronaldinho show'.

The first goal was a combination of pace, close control, and skill as the Brazilian received the ball on the halfway line and left Sergio Ramos lying on the grass after a quick shuffle of feet then turned Ivan Helguera inside out before sliding a shot past Iker Casillas.

His second goal was almost a recreation of his first as Ramos was once again the victim of Ronaldinho's magical feet.

The Brazilian play-maker glided past the Spanish defender for the second time and tucked past Casillas giving Barcelona a well-earned triumph against their bitter rivals.

This was a complete performance by arguably the greatest entertainer in football and Real fans got to their feet and applauded the work of a genius as he ran off to celebrate on the 78th minute.

"I will never forget this because it is very rare for any footballer to be applauded in this way by the opposition fans."
