Stunning lineup picked by Brazil legend Ronaldinho.
Former Barcelona star Ronaldinho has named his dream XI, featuring some all-time greats of the game and a variety of stars, including some surprise choices…
GK: Gianluigi Buffon
One of the finest goalkeepers of the modern era and perhaps of all time, Juventus star Gianluigi Buffon makes it into goal here.
DR: Cafu
Ronaldinho’s former Brazil team-mate, Cafu is widely considered to be one of the game’s best-ever right-backs.
DL: Roberto Carlos
Another Brazilian legend, Roberto Carlos was a superb attacking left-back and another big name in this star-studded defence.
DC: John Terry
One of the strongest opponents Ronaldinho played against in some hotly-contested Barcelona v Chelsea matches, John Terry is still a slightly surprising choice here.
DC: Paolo Maldini
An all-time great at centre-back, AC Milan and Italy legend Paolo Maldini is a more obvious choice in defence in this XI.
DM: Claude Makelele
One of the finest defensive midfield players in the modern era, former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Claude Makelele is another opponent who impressed Ronaldinho in his career.
MC: Frank Lampard
Yet another Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard was one of the finest midfielders in the world at around the same time as Ronaldinho was at his peak, and he makes his XI.
MC: Kaka
Although the two never managed to fit into the same Brazil team too well, Kaka was another of Ronaldinho’s fellow countryman to show himself to be world class at his peak.
FR: Lionel Messi
Ronaldinho’s old Barcelona team-mate, Lionel Messi has gone on to become perhaps the finest player of all time in a superb career at the Nou Camp.
FL: Thierry Henry
Another former Barcelona team-mate, Thierry Henry was also one of the best players in the world around the same time as Ronaldinho, and certainly an all-time striking great.
FC: Ronaldo
Finally, another absolutely phenomenal player produced by Brazil, Ronaldo makes it into this star-studded team.
