00:30Juan Broncos, Luis Garcia and Ricardo Coresma were the first four signings, but the cherry
00:35on the cake would come from Brazil.
00:42Ronaldinho touched down at the Spotify Camp Nou with the task of unlocking defences in
00:46the final third.
00:48What nobody expected, not even at Barca, was that he would very quickly become the most
00:52decisive player in the world.
01:00However, the team was incapable of making the most of the Brazilian's huge impact in the
01:12first half of the season.
01:14Ronaldinho missed the first Clásico through injury and Real Madrid ended a 20-year wait
01:18without winning at FC Barcelona's stadium in La Liga.
01:25Ronaldo and it's 2-0 for Real Madrid.
01:31Real Madrid winning 1-2 in the Camp Nou.
01:45The second half of the season was a different story altogether.
01:49Despite not winning any trophies, the Blaugrana's did finish above Real Madrid in the table thanks
01:54in part to a win at the Santiago Bernabeu where the Brazilian was instrumental.
01:57Ronaldinho reached its peak in 2005 and 2006 and FC Barcelona made the most of it to rule La Liga
02:10with an iron fist.
02:12Claiming two consecutive titles in which Real Madrid felt the brunt of the Brazilian's superhuman
02:30ability.
02:31Be it at the Spotify Camp Nou.
02:37Or the Santiago Bernabeu.
02:53Ronaldinho's finest Clásico performance came on the 19th of November 2005.
03:02Just one point separated both teams in the table but the Brazilian proved that the gulf
03:07on the pitch was far greater.
03:09Samuel Otoho opened the scoring in the first half but the best was yet to come.
03:14A second marauding run from Ronaldinho left the Santiago Bernabeu in awe and won El Clásico
03:29for Barca which was no contest from start to finish.
03:32Ronaldinho, my word!
03:37A couple of days later the Brazilian superstar would receive the Ballon d'Or.
03:45It would prove to be Ronaldinho's last win against Real Madrid as an FC Barcelona player.
03:50His level would never reach those startling highs again but his legacy remained as he put
03:55the building blocks in place for the Catalan outfit to construct one of the greatest football
04:00teams in history just a couple of years later.
04:02We'll see you later!
