Last week we had a suggestion to do Ronaldinho for our "5 things" feature. We have to say, this was a great suggestion and we had fun reading about one of the world's most well-loved players! As always, we thank you for your input and suggestions, so keep them coming!
Here's 5 things you may or may not have known about Ronaldinho!
1. Ronaldinho has played 97 matches and scored 33 goals for Brazil.
2. His football skills began to blossom at the age of 8 and he was given the nickname "Ronaldinho" because he was often the youngest and smallest player in his youth club matches.
3. At the age of 13 he played a match where he scored 23 goals in his team's 23-0 victory. This event caught the attention of the media.
4. In 2003 he joined FC Barcelona after the Catalan club outbid Manchester United for his signature. €30 million was the transfer fee that brought Ronaldinho to Spain.
5. Ronaldinho was awarded the FIFA Ballon d'Or award in 2005.
What do you think of this football veteran? Maybe you can share something you know about him!
