One of my 3 football idols but he is the most important one.. He is also the reason I started watching football, I still have his kit I got in 1998 from my dad.. It's fake but it's a memory.. I still have it at home..

Most talented player ever to dress the Barcelona shirt. What he did in 97 was truly remarkable.

Too bad his injuries..

why does this guy hate Barca so much? Says he wishes he scored his goal against Compostela while playing for Real Madrid.

 

[barcafan161]

Ronaldo Nazário on his goal vs. Compostela as a Barça player 20 years ago: "It was a very nice goal, but to be honest I'd have preferred to have scored it for Real Madrid. The only shame is that it wasn't for Madrid”

His current employer is Real Madrid, so no surprise there.

After signing to Real Madrid he was the target of a sustained media hate campaign in Sport and Mundo Deportivo and on top of that he was booed every time he played in Camp Nou. The concept of old heroes does not really exist when a player switch between Barca and Real, even when it is by way of a third club like in Ronaldos case. Bernd Shuster is another case, even though the majority of his career was in Barsa he only talks positively about Real Madrid.

For a couple of weeks ago, Ronaldo was invited as a guest in the Brazilian TV program Resenha on ESPN.

Ronaldo revealed how he ended up in Inter 1997.

Quotes taken from BarcaNewsForum

- Ronaldo Nazario (Ex-Barca): "The experience was wonderful at Barcelona, but it was not possible to continue although that was not my fault."

- Ronaldo: "I had reached an agreement to renew my contract just a month before that season was over."

- Ronaldo: "But a week later, Barcelona's lawyer and president agreed that the contract was absurd."

- Ronaldo: "So they would accept the offer of any club that would pay my 29 million euro release clause."

- Ronaldo: "In Barcelona, even today, the club demonstrates these dark arts in their negotiations."

- Ronaldo: "They act in a different way, for instance with the 'Neymar case'. I believe we still do not know what happened."

- Ronaldo: "There are many serious issues and someone is going to pay dearly for them."

Came across this great article about Ronaldo's season for Barca back in 1996-97 season, which I'd like recommend you to read.

[El Flaco]

Gianluigi Buffon on the best footballer he played against: "The one who caused me all kinds of trouble was Ronaldo Nazário. He was the perfect player. He had power, speed, intuition technical skills & quickness. He was a jaw-dropping player. It seemed like he was created in a lab."
