Ronaldinho is regarded by many as
the 'best player of the last decade'.
The Brazilian superstar has won
almost everything a footballer can win
in his career. He won the FIFA World
Player of the Year award twice in
consecutive years (2004 and 2005). He
also won the FIFA World Cup, the
Champions League and two Spanish
league titles. After playing in the
European circuit for a decade
Ronaldinho joined Flamengo in 2011
from AC Milan. He started his
European stint with Paris Saint-
Germain in 2001. But his real stardom
came in FC Barcelona where he
played for five seasons from 2003 to
2008. He won two La Liga title and a
Champions League title with the
Catalans. Ronaldinho played his first
international game for Brazil in 1999
and became a household name in the
2002 World Cup where he sizzled with
his skills and helped his national side
won the coveted trophy for the record
fifth time. During his stay at Barcelona,
Ronaldinho started to accumulate a
host of personal awards. He won the
inaugural FIFPro World Player of the
Year in 2005 and later named the
2005 European Footballer of the Year.
Then he won his second FIFA World
Player of the Year in the same year.
Ronaldinho won his second FIFPro
World Player of the Year in 2006 and
also finished third in the 2006 FIFA
World Player of the Year, behind
World Cup-winning Italian captain
Fabio Cannavaro and Frenchman
Zinedine Zidane.
