Deco in his prime was a joy to watch. With quick feet and a lethal finish, he was a great player. He also is one of the few players who got to play with Both Messi and Ronaldo.

He is Portuguese and hence was part of the national team with Cristiano Ronaldo. He was in his prime in 2004 when Portugal reached the Euro Final. He shared the pitch with a young Cristiano at that time. He played with Portugal until 2010 after which he announced his retirement.

Deco also moved to Barcelona in 2004 which led to him playing with Ronaldinho and more importantly Messi. Much like Ronaldo, Messi was young when he played with Deco, but the greatness could not be hidden for long. Deco would eventually leave for Chelsea and hence could not play with a prime Lionel Messi.
