Chelsea forward Willian has been linked with a move to Barcelona, which would see him link up with Lionel Messi, but the Brazilian is of the belief that his compatriot Ronaldinho is the greatest player of all time, not the Argentine.
Many make the case that Ronaldinho was in fact at the level of Messi, if not better, but it was only for two- or three-year period, rather than the decade plus that Messi has been wowing football fans all over the world.
"Ronaldinho was the best of them all," Willian told Goal when asked about his thoughts on the greatest player of all time debate.
"Better than Cristiano [Ronaldo] and Messi.
"They score a lot of goals, but what Ronnie was doing was amazing.
"He was amazing on the pitch, and he also scored goals.
"As a fan of his, I think he stopped too soon.
"If Ronaldinho had continued to play like this for a couple more years, he would have been the best in the world on three, four or five occasions.
"He was twice, and then I don't know what happened.
"He was my biggest idol in football."

Ronaldinho is one of the players who redefined football, saying he's better than Messi Is something that requires much thinking...Messi and Ronaldinho are better than each other in various aspects but Ronaldinho made football much more beautiful!He's pace,dribbling and skills alone made football look like a child's play always cheerful

Very true.. Ronaldinho made football look so easy.. his skills, dribbles etc were awesome.. Remember this man played against the world's best defenders in history.. Roberto Carlos, Lucio,Maldini,Nesta,Stam,.Makelele,thuram,Canavaro etc still no one stopped him from achieving it... but just VVD stopped Messi from winning UCL😂😂

Ronaldinho was one of the best in history, but Messi is definitely the Greatest of all time! Messi is a multiple skill player and also his consistency is out of this world! In dribbling skills I rarely saw Ronaldinho dribble past4,5 or even 6 players then score! But Messi has done it occasionally! Put the stats together then u will understand what i mean! There is just no one on Messi’s level!!!

One of my fantasies is that one day Ronaldinho** The poet of football **will become a football coach for Barça. Then, if we didn't get the result, and his players wouldn't he wear Barça's clothes and come to the playground and play😁😁😂😂😌😌😇😇4 us
