Ronaldinho

Brazilian footballer (born 1980)
This is a Portuguese name; the first family name is de Assis and the second is Moreira.

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira (born 21 March 1980), more commonly known as Ronaldinho, or Ronaldinho Gaúcho, is a retired Brazilian footballer. Considered the best player in world football for several years,[2] he is regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time,[3] and by some, as the greatest ever.[4][5][6][7][8][9] He was known for his dribbling, passing, flair, skills, and ability to create and score goals, all prominent characteristics of his early-age background playing futsal. He is the only player ever to have won a World Cup, a Copa América, a Confederations Cup, a Champions League, a Copa Libertadores and a Ballon d'Or.[10] At club level, he is best known for playing for F.C. Barcelona (2003-2008).
