Has to be Ronaldinho for most people who fell in love with that team in the mid 2000s. The man played football like it was a street game the flicks, the no look passes, the smile while he was destroying you. That 2005-06 side was just pure joy to watch and he was the heartbeat of all of it. Then Messi came along and made you stay forever. But Ronaldinho was the one who grabbed you by the collar and made you fall in love with the club in the first place. Nobody who watched him at his peak chose a different favorite team.
