Just comes down to matter of opinion. If you define greatness more through goals and numbers, then messi and Ronaldo were total goal machines. Ronaldinho had unbelievable technical ability, a truly gifted individual.

I've never been a Barcelona fan but I use to tune in to watch Barcelona play just to watch him Ronaldinho get the ball. Where other players looked so focused and tense, Ronaldinho just looked like he was having fun.

Everyonrle just associates skills with r10, but they forget he was strong like on ox, he had rapid acceleration, never went down easily always stayed on his feet, his passing in particular hes through balls are the best iv ever seen, and hes speed of thought was amazing.

Ronaldinho was very strong. I actually remember seeing him before he got to Barca, playing for Brasil and PSG. He would regularly take the ball, make some brilliant runs, surrounded with players trying to push him off the ball, but they were just bouncing off of him. Also very fast, not just acceleration, he had great pace. Athleticism was a huge part of his game, and when he lost it and somehow decided to quit (slowly after the WC 2006) he was never the same. He was still skillful at Milan, but wasn't 1/10th of a player he was a few years ago, when he lost that pace, power, explosiveness etc. And yes, I agree, his through balls and vision were amazing. You rarely have a players with such skills, dribbling, athleticism, but with such vision too. He was comfortably better than Kaka there, for example. He was a freak. A will also add he was a brilliant finisher, inside the box or distance shooting. In some other systems, maybe nowadays, he would probably be able to get 20+ league goals easily, but he was more about creating and providing. He was clinical up front. Such a gifted footballer. Complete attacking powerhouse.

He was unreal. It was a beautiful thing watching him play. He made the game beautiful to watch.

Ronaldinho is my all time greatest. He was an amazing player

His prime was short, but there hasn't been a player that made everyone fall in love with football like him. Man had 0 haters

Most naturally gifted player ever

Maradona far more gifted

The best I have ever seen. The best in football history.

In his prime he had more capacity than Messi and Ronaldo. Meaning that he had more skills and tricks up his sleeve than a 10 trick magician, he had power and explosive pace, he had supreme ball control ability, he didn’t need to play one twos like Messi to get past defenders. He simply was like a train, a powerful, tricky, masterful train that could not be stopped.

Messi needs one twos to get past defenders? Lol. I've heard it all now 😂. I'm not even a Messi fan but that's absolute rubbish. Henry played and trained with Barca when Messi was younger and said he's the only player he's seen who could just pick up the ball, take on the whole team on his own and score.

@@DirtyJamesUK that was when Messi was at 19-22 years of age. When he hit mid 20s, he was relying more on playing off the attacking midfielders one touch pivots. Ronaldinho if you watched his greatest performance ever at the Bernabeu in November 2005 at 25 years of age. Picked the ball up behind the half way line and easily blitzed pass any Real Madrid defenders like Salgado or Ramos because of his height at 1.81m and his explosive power that coupled with his agile and dexterous body to samba his way in for a solo goal. He did that not once but twice. And he at his prime at the zenith of his powers is more efficient, more of a machine than Messi because of the mixture of physical prowess, greater strength, more ball control across the board and the intellect than Messi. Messi at 25 considering that as peak age, was not carrying Barcelona to UCL victory alone, he needed Xavi, Iniesta etc. Ronaldinho didn’t need anyone. He was the reason of the rise of Barcelona. In fact Samuel Eto’o needed him. Xavi and Iniesta were still journeymen and weren’t even close to their final product. Messi looked up to Ronaldinho. Not taking anything away from Messi who is an all time great but if you asked me prime Ronaldinho, he’s above prime Messi

@@pauliyonas3576 nope. Prime Messi was definitely among the greats. But if you look at what made Messi great was because Xavi and Iniesta were in their prime as well feeding him and making him great. They all look like co partners in crime. On the other hand Ronaldinho. You are too young to remember. Ronaldinho made Xavi, Edmilson, Iniesta and even a young Messi a supporting player to him. He can carry the entire midfield on his own. He set the pace, set the tone for every match, being a one man dominating force. Every long ball was played to him. He could trap that ball with the chest or the foot. Without him, Xavi and Iniesta would not have that developmental level to support Messi. Ronaldinho at prime has the higher capacity and more lung power, more burst of speed and the trickery to overcome Messi’s brilliance. Messi is an instinctive player with a genius left foot. Ronaldinho is more of a workhorse, unpredictable samba player that bamboozles yet also very effectively in an European way controls and efficiently orchestrates the team. Under him Eto’o became a goal scoring extraordinaire. Ronaldinho made Eto’o, made Xavi, made Iniesta, made Deco, and Messi to reach their potential. Messi on the other hand wants the club to revolve around him. Which is a lesser level than howRonaldinho built Barcelona into a great when he left. when Messi left, Barcelona declined rapidly because he didnt develop his teammates

Loved watching Ronaldinho.....he excited me more when he played.

Big barca fan here and i hated Chelsea but loved the trio joe cole ,terry and lampard.. this trio was chelsea! The core and identity of that team and club.. great ballers, especially lampard and joe cole

hes very right to suggest Ronaldinhos spot on the culture of this sport is untouchable. hes at the pinnacle of streets wont forget.

The only player in history, that the entire world watched Barcelona every game just to see Ronaldinho do something new, like what new trick he could come up with.

A true artist.

He’s the best football player Iv ever seen in 3 span the things he done with the ball we’re watching it 15 years later

The brightest fires burn out quickest. 90 mins of watching a team of the best XI in their prime, he's the one everyone's talking about when they're leaving the stadium. Not Messi or Zidane.

The real 🐐

I remember everyone at school wanted to be ronaldinho after he destroyed chelsea. He brought something new to football

Ronaldinho had kids all over the world trying to copy his tricks. He brought so much joy to football.

Well said I totally agree…… prime gaucho brought flair, he inspired us to learn tricks and flicks. Ronaldo and Messi just scored a lot of goals mostly….no disrespect to them

He was built. I don’t think he even worked out like that just played footy and probably ate a lot but guys like him zidane, hazard, moussa dembele, Yaya, and maradona are so good to watch because they can pin you 1 second and the next they can do slickest moves.

No player since has been as revered and beloved as Dinho. Only Pele (the real GOAT) compares.

I don't mind longevity. Because I don't want someone like Ronaldinho becoming like C Ronaldo and Messi and the end of the career. R10 came and he delivered something so special in those 5-6 years, no one will ever be able to achieve that level of madness and that's what make him special. What Messi and C Ronaldo did in their long career, he did even more of that in 6 years of his prime.

Thankyou. Finally a comment that actually acknowledges how hard it is to do it for years which is what Ronaldo and Messi have done. That’s because they looked after their bodies. Not because they are “better”. And Ronaldo is the best of all time to me. Just my opinion. The whole package but ronaldinho was ridiculous for those few years. Imagine he did what he did for more than 3 years. For like 12 years let’s say. This would be a non convo he would be in the Same conversation as all of them.
