Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho's 22 goals in the 2004-05 La Liga season drove Barcelona to their first league title in six years, a turnaround that defined his prime. As the 2005 FIFA World Player of the Year, he scored 70 international goals in 97 appearances and led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup. His 2006 UEFA Champions League victory showcased his flair, but his consistency lagged behind Zico at #4, who averaged 0.92 goals per game to Ronaldinho's 0.72. At 30% lower goal efficiency than the average top-5 Brazilian forward, Ronaldinho's peak brilliance nonetheless captivated the world.
