And Even Barnebeu Applaud Him

That man is Ronaldinho. The maestro who made Ronaldo, Raul and Zidane pale in comparison. Robinho was Real's only hope against the mighty Barca but even Robinho couldn't quite pull off the needed miracle to save Real. Eto'o, a Real reject and once almost bought by Wenger, showed us just how dangerous he can be with that pace and finishing. But Ronaldinho was even better.

Sergio Ramos is a great, great, right back who Real bought from Sevilla. An elegant defender with technique and pace. But even he couldn't stop Ronaldinho. One moment he was still marking the Barca man closely and the next moment he found himself trying to catch up with Ronaldinho who suddenly accelerated and before he could do anything, the ball has already left Ronaldinho's feet and slid past Casillas into the net. The two goals Ronaldinho scored were almost like carbon copy that I couldn't remember the one I mentioned was the first or the second.

But I definitely remember the moment after he sealed the 3-0 win. Barnebeu stood up and applaud him. Barca and Real may well be rival but I guess you just can't help clapping when you witness such a beauty on display.

I couldn't imagine what would happen if Henry does move to Barca. But I guess I can understand if Henry wants to move to Barca. They were playing different level of football. And the fact that Spanish League does allow you more space when playing gives these football wizards chance to show off their surreal skill.

Oh and Leo Messi looked every bit a legend in the making.

hello chix, I think Arsenal should buy off Ronaldinho from his contract. I know $200mil is a little bit of something.

ha ha shaff, even if Wenger has 200 million to burn, you will have to brainwash him for him to even consider doing that. He wouldn't even pay that slightly inflated price for SWP.
