#4 Ronaldo, Inter Milan
Ronaldo Nazario announced his arrival on the footballing stage by scoring 47 goals in 49 games in 1996-97 for Barcelona. Ronaldo delivered a brilliant individual season as he played a crucial role in Barcelona winning the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, Copa Del Rey and Supercopa de Espana.
After the season ended Ronaldo was destined to stay in Barcelona and renegotiate his contract however the talks between the Barcelona board and Ronaldo collapsed. Inter Milan took advantage of it and signed him for a then world record fee of $27 million.
In his 5 seasons at Inter, Ronaldo captured the imagination of world football as he haunted the likes of Paolo Maldini. He scored the most number of goals in his first season at Serie A and won the Serie A player of the season award. After his starting 2 seasons at the club, Ronaldo started having problems with niggling knee injuries. He came back from them and helped Brazil win the FIFA World Cup 2002 and went on to win the FIFA World Player of the Year award that year before securing a move to Real Madrid for 46 million Euros.
His time at Inter is remembered as the best phase of his career where he won the FIFA Best Player award twice and the Ballon De Ore. He did some breathtaking stuff in a league that was dominated by defenders and cemented his status as one of the greatest strikers of all time even after being affected by injuries continuously.
