FC Barcelona- Seven Forwards of the Decade

Ronaldinho_display_image

Ronaldinho is someone you really need to keep your eyes on when playing against. Normally an attacking midfielder (Deep Lying Forward) or a winger, the Brazilian prodigy is widely regarded as the most gifted player of his generation. One of his most notable performances was at the age of 13 he scored all 23 goals against the local team, a sign of things to come. This guy was hungry; scoring was all he knew, he had more tricks then Blaine and was slicker then your average referee. No one was complaining when he signed for Barcelona.

Outbidding the likes of Manchester United, Ronaldinho made his first debut in a friendly match against Milan, scoring one goal in a 2-0 Victory. He had a very successful time at Barcelona with a multitude of goals and assists, as well as a free kick specialist as evidenced by his goals against Werder Bremen and Real Betis. He had viewers worldwide staring at the screen in disbelief.

If you want to see this guy at his peak, check out the highlights in the Real Madrid 3-0 Barcelona match in 2005. It was something else; La Liga is a one-touch league where they’ve seen it all, but they never saw it coming with Ronaldinho.

To have an attacking midfielder of that caliber was unfair, but worked so beautifully with Eto’o. Ronaldhino won the 2005-2006 La Liga and Supercopa de Espana and the Champion’s League 2006 with Barcelona. His time would come at an end in 2008 where he turned down an offer from Man City to join AC Milan. The reason for the move? He wanted a “New Challenge” and to further his career. A true talent.
