Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho's peak brilliance earned him two FIFA World Player of the Year awards and a 2005 Ballon d'Or, making him the most naturally gifted player of his era. He led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup and transformed Barcelona, winning two La Liga titles and a Champions League (2006) with a flair that attracted 15% more global viewers to matches. His goal contribution of 0.81 per game during his prime is faster than the average of #6 Zidane's prime (0.74 per game). Ronaldinho's 94 goal contributions in 145 Barcelona appearances came with an audacity — like his 2005 El Clásico goal after a dummy shot — that earned applause from Real Madrid fans at the Bernabéu, a testament to his unique influence on the sport.
