Ronaldinho: Playing for FC Barcelona was my magic moment

When you think of Barça, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind?I see a happy smile and uncontrollable happiness. It was my magic time. It all happened so perfectly that I can only thank this great Club for every second I spent there.What are your best memories of the Club and the city?Barça is the union and the coming together of so many people who love the Club. From the smile on the face of the security guard at the gate when he welcomed us every day, everyone was so full of enthusiasm that our day couldn’t help being happy. I met many great people there – normal, humble people who were just proud to be part of the Club - that is the best example of what Barça is all about.
