Memories of Ronaldinho playing against us
- Thread starter atcolin
- Start date
He was both games mate, was still good to see him in person.
in all honesty we done well against Barca even away with losing that earlier goal wouldn’t say anyone stood out much like Mendieta or Riqulme did against us

He hit the bar with a freekick I'm sure. He was quite IIRC, but obviously still very classy. I think that was the beginning of the end for him at Barcelona though, he didn't play much that season.
He also played against us for Milan in a friendly.

He certainly wasn’t the player he was for the 3 year period of 03-06.
funnily enough Arteta stood out more in 01 in that PSG team
We were immense that night. Completely nullified them and the manager definitely didnt get the credit he deserved. Barry could've nicked it for us late on too.
I thought Arteta stood out more
Same. Didn't do much in either game.
I can remember coming away from both legs being massivley impressed with Arteta. Would never have thought he would have ended up with us not long after
Scored in the shootout I think.

I watched the Barcelona game in Latin America. Mario Kempes was co-commentating. I remember him saying that Ronaldinho was terrified of Rangers. I always liked that little quote.

Puyol was Barca's best player at Ibrox that night. I remember thinking he might have been a weak link, playing out of position at right back, but he was a powerhouse who just didn't stop going. What a player.
Ronaldinho had a good game. McGregor's save to deny his free-kick was ridiculous.

The first thing Puyol did as soon as the ref blew for fulltime was clap the govan stand then turned round clapping the rest of the rangers support.

Smashed the crossbar early v barca, I remember saying to my pal this is going to be a long night! We actually turned in a great performance.
Was poor with PSG and generally quiet I'd agree

I might be wrong, I'm sure he bottled it from taking one in the shoot out,he was walking about with an ice pack.

I see it, what you done, I f.ucking see it!
I've no love for Barcelona or their scummy fans, but Puyol was a class act that night. Fair play to him.

Also was full of praise for us when the draw as made, calling us "mythical". Legend.
That was Anelka.
In that case, I have no memories of him in that game
You were right, he did score.

Was going to say I remember pointing out to my mate that Adam was man marking him the last 5 minutes or so of the game at Ibrox.
My mate was like “quite smart to nullify him” and I was thinking “cheeky c* nt just wants his jersey at full time”.

Konterman marked him out of the game at Ibrox.
I'm not kidding either. Did the same with Hagi the year before.

He was in Sasa Papac's pocket and Sasa hadn't even signed for us. That's how quiet he was!

And we still put them out.
I remember going to Glasgow airport as a starstruck teenager to get autographs of the PSG team at arrivals.
Managed to get Ronaldinho, Okocha along with a few others. Happy memories
In the friendly v Milan at Ibrox when Beckham was playing I remember they took off Ronaldinho and brought on Kaka. Suppose that's like us now with Alfie and JD.

Mario Kempes - now there’s a man who had Ibrox impressed.

Ronaldinho’s legacy reminds me of the old Hendry v O’Sullivan debate.
Ronnie is the most naturally gifted player to ever grace the table and Stephen is deservedly the greatest player of all time. Not just for the titles won but for the way he transformed Snooker into an aggressive break building competition.
Ronaldo and Messi will go down as two of the greatest players of all time but Ronaldinho is number one for pure natural ability. He was a magician with the ball at his feat and an absolute joy to watch.
Still regularly watch his highlights on YouTube.

Iniesta for me. I'd heard Guillame Barague talk about him being the up and coming star of that team. He wasn't wrong.

Mid 2000s he was unstoppable, remembering revisita la liga on sky where they'd show the skill clips, he was on it every week for a like 2 mins straight. A joy to watch.
