The first step towards Barcelona’s dominance of modern football was achieved with the signing of Ronaldinho. One of the most skilled players ever to play the game, Ronaldinho’s signing in 2003 ushered in a new era of dominance for Barcelona.

A first league title in six years was a direct result of the Brazilian’s artistry. Who can forget the way he destroyed Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2005 where even the Madridistas stood up to applaud – a gesture that is only reserved for the very best opponents.

The smiling Brazilian also helped Barcelona to their first Champions League title in 14 years when they got the better of Arsenal in the 2006 Champions League final. A man who always played with a smile on his lips, Ronaldinho truly revolutionized football in Barcelona.
