He won the European Cup Winners’ Cup, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup in his sole campaign at the Camp Nou before leaving for Inter Milan.

From 2002-2007, he played for Real Madrid, scoring 104 goals in 177 appearances. He also won the 2002 World Cup.

Neymar’s verdict: “I’d go with Ronaldo’s strength for his burst, his strength to decide games, his speed, everything.”

During his time at the club between 2003-08, Barca won the UEFA Champions League, two La Liga titles and two Spanish Super Cups. He also won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil.

One of the most exciting players to have worn the Barcelona shirt, he went on to play for AC Milan before returning to his homeland.
