If you've ever wondered where Messi learnt the art of tormenting Real Madrid, the Brazilian is the answer. Much like his talented apprentice, Ronaldinho made a team of Galacticos kneel before him on multiple occasions, leading Barcelona through one of their darkest ages.

Ronaldo, Figo, Zidane, Beckham, Raul, Ramos, Casillas, Roberto Carlos; not one of them was able to contain Ronaldinho on the night of 19th November 2005.

After Samuel Eto'o grabbed a lead for the Catalans, it was a Ronaldinho show until the end.

The Brazilian produced an unmatched level of sorcery leaving the likes of Salgado and Ramos tantalized and helpless in his wake. He scored a brace, with both the goals come in similar fashion after slaloming past the defences.

However, one of the most beautiful acts of humanity took place as the final whistle blew. The Madrid supporters rose in appreciation and applauded Ronaldinho for even they knew that they had witnessed a great history before them.

As for Florentino Perez, hope he must have learnt his lessons when it comes to rejecting players based on their skin colours.
