Inheriting Magic

Ronaldinho in his prime, Messi playing his first Clasico. The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona on November 19, 2005 corresponded to Round 12 and is remembered for Ronaldinho's magical performance, scoring the 2nd and 3rd goals of the 0-3 victory.

After scoring the 0-2, Dinho walks back hugging Messi, symbolizing the admiration and respect between the two Barza stars.

Minutes later, Messi would be replaced by Iniesta. And minutes later, the Bernabeu offered Ronaldinho a standing ovation after scoring the 0-3.

A day for Football's history books.
