#7 Rui Costa
"There are not many players who can offer goal scoring passes like he can. He is just marvellous. He is a rare case of an assist man who can provide the ball from anywhere." - Rui Costa
Costa had once famously called the Brazilian an assist machine. Costa also once famously said that Gaucho was the best player that he played against.
#8 Sergio Ramos
“Ronaldinho was virtually unstoppable at his best, as a forward or a playmaker.” - Sergio Ramos
A compliment coming from an eternal rival should always be regarded in the highest order. Ramos and Ronaldinho went head to head against each other many a times with the Brazilian humiliating Ramos on a number of occasions, home and away.
Ronaldinho once received a standing ovation from the Bernabeu crowd which goes to show the respect that the rival crowd and the players had for the Brazilian.
