"I shared a year with Ronaldinho and he is a different player, he's touched by God."He always had fun; with the ball he was always doing things and he practiced a lot so that he could replicate those things in matches."You see him in training, in matches and every move he makes is different from everyone. Players like him appear very rarely and they are remembered in football history," he added.Before Messi started ruling the roost at Barcelona, Ronaldinho was a fan-favourite at Camp Nou. He stayed with the Spanish Giants from 2003 to 2008 and won two LaLiga titles and one Champions League trophy.As for Messi, he has so far won 10 LaLiga titles, six Copa del Reys and four Champions League titles.
