As the time goes by it becomes more obvious that Ronaldinho is about to be history for Barça or at least he is past his best. Since he and Rivaldo both had the best years of their careers playing with the blaugrana shirt maybe is time to make a comparison. Both Brazilians, magical players very influential for the club and have achieved great things in Barcelona. Who do you think was better for us?
Rivaldo scored 86 goals in 159 appearances. Greatest moment for Ribo the chilean vs Valencia. Ribo also scored from the centre of the field something Ronaldinho hasn't done yet. Won two Ligas and a Copa. Always (almost) rising to the occasion, scoring important goals and carrying the team on his own. Selfish at times but had confidence on his legs and scored some great goals. In contrast to Ronnie obviously he was part of a weaker team that had memorable players like Rochemback, Geovanni, Zenden, Kluivert and Winston. Under the guidance of the cheesehead for most of his time here always arguing about his position. Left the club through the back door much like what's about to happen with Ronnie.
Ronaldinho scored 87 in 188 appearances so far. Greatest moment the 0-3 at the fascists stadium. Changed the modern history of our club in times we were struggling to reach a European spot, a club that was in shambles. Achieved legendary status in this holy stadium scoring several beautiful goals and by doing some wonderful tricks. Including passing the ball with his back, the "sleep" of the ball in his shoulders and so on. Surrounded by the likes of Deco and Eto'o formed a side that brought back memories of the Dream Team. Won 2 Ligas and a CL.
IMWO, Rivaldo was a more "do it on your own" player than Ronnie that had more efficiency in his game. Ronnie is/was more about his beautiful style, the tricks and more of a teammate than Ribo. He is efficient too but not as much as Ribo. That's why i think Ribo was slightly better for us, together with the fact he played with a weaker team than Ronnie. Ronaldinho on the other hand won the CL, but still i think Rivaldo could do it if he was in Ronaldinho's position.
