Zinedine Yazid Zidane was born 23 June 1972 in Marseille France. He was part of the French National Team which won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and 2000 European Championship.

He has played for big clubs like Real Madrid and Juventus winning both the Serie A and the Spanish first division. In 2001 he scored the winning goal in Real Madrid’s 2 – 1 winner in the UEFA champions League against Bayer Leverkusen.

Zidane is the most expensive player in the history of football. Real Madrid purchased him in 2001 for £46 million.

Zidane has won the FIFA World Player of the Year three times and he truly is one of the best ever midfield playmakers.

Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, better known as Ronaldinho was born March 21, 1890 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. His early career began with Brazilian side Gremio before moving on to Europe and Paris Saint-Germain FC on five-year long contract in 2001. Paris Saint-Germain’s manager Luis Fernandez claimed that Ronaldinho was too focused on the Parisian nightlife rather than football. After just two years in Paris, Ronaldinho made it clear he wanted to leave because PSG failed to qualify for Europe.

Ronaldinho joined Barcelona in 2003 for £21 million and soon became an important player for the club. In the 2004-05 season he helped Barcelona win the league title and was voted FIFA World Player of the Year. An award he won again the year after. In the summer 2008 Ronaldinho moved to Milan.

Barcelona fans will remember him for his many brilliant goals and performances on Nou Camp. In November, 2006, Ronaldinho scored a stunning bicycle kick goal against Villarreal. He later told reporters it was a goal he had dreamed of scoring since he was a little boy.
