November 20th, 2005. A day that will go down to history as the match in which the Santiago Bernabeu crowned Ronaldinho as the best footballer on the face of the Earth.

Real fans acknowledged the Brazilian with a standing ovation after his superb performance.

On 60 minutes, he carried the ball 40 metres, shrugging off two defenders before firing home. Sixteen minutes later, he raced past Sergio Ramos to finish inside the near post.

Ronaldinho, given a standing ovation by the home fans, said: "For me it was a very emotional moment and I will never forget it because it isn't often opposition fans applaud you.

"It isn't something that you expect to happen in your career. I didn't know that it had only happened here before with Maradona."

Whoa, that is amazing! I'm a pretty gullible guy so maybe this is a stupid question, but that volley sequence has GOT to be CG, right? I can't imagine anyone having that kind of control on the shot.

Changing the subject a little.....with the money he makes you'd think he could afford to get his teeth fixed. 🙂

I don't think it's CG. I just watched it over and over again, and it looks as real as can be.

I vote for CG. The arc of the ball returning seems a bit too perfect for my taste. There is just something a bit off about that sequence there in my mind.
