According to Spanish newspaper El País, during the shaping of the famous Galáctico team composed of the likes of David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldo and company, Real Madrid didn’t close the signing of Ronaldinho because they thought he was too ugly to wear the club’s shirt. Following the rejection of Real Madrid, the Brazilian playmaker eventually moved to Paris Saint-Germain, and then to Barcelona, ​​where he became the best player in the world and helped the Catalans to lift both the Champions League and La Liga. Ronaldinho and Eto’o had a wonderful time together at Barcelona, and won the Spanish league title in 2005-06 season, finishing the competition 12 points ahead of their rivals. In addition, Ronaldinho had a flawless performance at the Santiago Bernabeu, for which he was even applauded by the Real Madrid supporters.
