When Ronaldo Phenomenon & Ronaldinho Made History

Real Madrid, underachieving in spectacular style. If they win today, it could be down to six points. Maybe on Grand National weekend, a runaway leader can be appended. Ronaldo, partnering Michael Owen today, looking for Raul ahead of him. Remember, no tentatively touched by Giovani van Bronckhorst. Now Ronaldo, for the Barcelona player, puts it across! Real Madrid almost got caught with a sucker punch. Cross from Balerion, the chance from Samuel Eto'o. Oh, and a little off the ball scrap between Salga. Ronaldinho. Giovani. Ronaldinho, sidesteps Thomas Gravesen. Oh, oh, and through his legs again, he did it twice then. You know, he's shown so much. Eto'o. Ronaldinho. Eto'o. Gravesen into second, the creative department of Real Madrid coming to their own. Ronaldinho moves through the gear. Little backflick. He's got a pretty distinguishable voice, but Ronaldinho gave it him. Ronaldo, leaves one on the floor. Couldn't give it to Owen, chooses to give it to Roberto Carlos. Chance for two! Roby went for the pass when I thought he should have went for goal. Ronaldo, he's come in for some criticism this season, but he's taken it upon himself to attack Barcelona at every given opportunity. And he's won a free kick. Not too sure it was a free kick, Oligar. Beckham, tries to cook something. Great cross! Wonderful header! 2-0. Ronaldo, don't write him off. And I don't think the goal scoring's finished yet. Ronaldinho, not as effective. Ronaldo. Well, it's the first time they've played this Ronaldo. Ronaldinho. Oh, defence splitting pass. Eto'o. Helguera, flies in once, loses out. Eto'o comes through! And Eto'o brings Barca back in the game. Ronaldinho. Here von Bronckhorst. Into the wings to Beckham. Low and hard. And Ronaldo! Goal scoring chances. And it's only just over 30 minutes gone. Here comes something. Only won on 13 occasions. No coach has won twice. Rijkaard did win last year. Ronaldinho. Wonderful volley. Aside from Villarreal in the summer. Here's Ronaldinho. Draws at Mairis. Xavi. Belletti. Ronaldinho coming in. Salgado was aware. Gives it to Ronaldinho. Gravisson flies in. Ronaldinho. Keeps possession. Onside. Julie. Draws back the trigger. But misses the target. Do you know what? These two defences are so vulnerable it's not true. There's spaces and gaps. Ronaldo. That's never a free kick. Still showboat. Ronaldinho proves the point. Ronaldo. Uses his muscles to its fullest advantage. Oligar. Doesn't look confident. Went toe-to-toe with Ronaldo. Here's a two-man reception committee. Beckham. Zidane. Roberto Carlos on the left. Away he goes. Great cross. 80,000 inside the stadium on this very hot evening in the Spanish capital. Beautiful day. Perfect for football. Ronaldinho. Zidane stands at it. There is Ronaldinho. First yellow card of the game. Soul of his boot. Draws Payol. Gives it to Ronaldo. Who has been a massive influence in this game. Scored one. Assisted in one. All the free kicks given belatedly for the foul from Julian Ronaldo. To try and get it. Nothing wrong with his attitude tonight. Those tackling's not too sharp. Just look at the commitment from both sets of players, Rob. Good ball. Chase between Payol. Won by the Brazilian. Buy some time. There's a lot of activity down below. Warming up. Maxi Lopez. Gerrard. Put pressure on the first touch. But a good team effort so far from Real Madrid. Into goals. Good ball. What a great ball from Beckham to Michael Owen. Away goes Owen. And Owen scores! Post that question at the start, Rob. You know, 3-0. And there were 2-0 done in this game. If they did lose it, what would the fact have on them in their confidence? Here's the man with the golden boots. Ronaldo. By Payol. There is no case for the defence. No. It was caught square on. Tries to get in there. Valdez is brave this time. Double fists it to Ronaldinho. I'll tell you what, man. Who's going to be delighted at that fourth goal for Real Madrid? Sven-Johan Eriksson, if he's watching. Beckham and Owen. On the top of their game. Which is good news for England. And I think there's any way around. He's got to go over the wall. Oh! Magic! Loving it. Just loving it. Ronaldinho. Referee. Made the interception then. Ole Guerreiro in his shadow. Ronaldinho. Dressed past Gravisson. Shakes off Salgado. Looking for his second in quick succession. Salgado chases him. Ronaldinho tries to... Ronaldinho. Take two. Beckham got his chest to it. Payol fires it to Marquez. Who's way offside. Wall did his job on this occasion. And they all got out. Leaves his body in line with the ball. Ronaldo. Here's the star on the show at the moment. Ronaldinho. It's his cheeky little chip last year that created the game. Winning goal. And he almost gave Damian Albaer. That he might have been coming off the bench to score the winning goal. But I'm pleased he started. I'm pleased he got a goal. Now here's Ronaldo. Here is Ronaldo. Moves through the gears. Into turbo charge. And Valdez. Handles it like a hotcake. Feeds Beckham. Great football, Laurent. Brilliant football. Here we go the other end. Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho to Maxi Lopez. The stray that upended him. There's a few strays left in Barcelona. Ronaldinho. He's blocked. Has he done it this season? Casillas has made another massive save. Ronaldo. Oh, he loses Payol. Ronaldo has two bodyguards with him. Close. This is all again. Loses him. He's having fun. He's going to be broken up after this. Particular final farewell talk. Ronaldinho's cross. Good header. Right place at the right time again. Ronaldinho. No time for tricks. Stopped by Pavon. Ronaldo. Bit between his two. Had a permanent grimace since the news has broken to him 48 hours ago that he wasn't going to start. But at least he's been part of it.
