Ronaldinho made his career debut for Grêmio, in 1998. Aged 20, he moved to Paris Saint-Germain in France, where he established himself as one of the best players in Ligue 1. In 2003, he signed for Barcelona, where he experienced his prime years, winning his first FIFA World Player of the Year award as Barcelona won the 2004–05 La Liga title. In the season that followed, he was integral to Barcelona winning their second ever UEFA Champions League and another La Liga title, giving him his first career double. Ronaldinho received the 2005 Ballon d'Or and his second World Player of the Year in the process. After scoring two solo goals in the first 2005–06 El Clásico, he became the second Barcelona player, after Diego Maradona in 1983, to receive a standing ovation from Real Madrid fans at the Santiago Bernabéu. Due to these successes, Ronaldinho is widely credited with rejuvenating Barcelona in the early 2000s.
