The November 2005 El Clasico marked the day that both clubs put their rivalry aside in appreciation of the beautiful game.

The night saw Real Madrid playing host to Barcelona at the Bernabeu. The Catalans were already leading 1-0 when Ronaldinho got hold of the ball and showcased some of the most magical bits of football.

In the 59th minute, the Brazilian ace was seen picking up the ball, sprinting and dribbling past defenders Sergio Ramos and Ivan Helguera before netting in a beautiful shot past goalkeeper Iker Casillas.

Twenty minutes later, Ronaldinho scored his second goal of the night in the same riveting style as the first.

A starstruck Casillas was not the only one in awe of the Brazilian's style as the stadium lit up and Real Madrid fans were seen on their feet, applauding Ronaldinho.

This game marked one of the most beautiful moments of the game in one of the most bitter clashes in history.
