Ex-Barcelona and Chelsea midfielder Deco fondly recalls his time alongside Ronaldinho at Camp Nou, insisting that the 2002 World Cup winner will always be the best in his eyes.
The two men played together in Catalunya between 2004 and 2008, winning two La Liga titles and the Champions League under the tutelage of Frank Rijkaard.
The Brazil international was widely regarded as the world's best player during that time, but over the last decade, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have set new standards in terms of goalscoring, team success and individual accolades.
The Juventus striker and Argentine talisman have each won five of the last ten Ballon d'Or awards and remain the top two footballers in Europe, but Deco still believes that Ronaldinho was in a class of his own.
