Ronaldinho Barcelona Icon Frame Men's T-Shirt | Players Couture | Football Clothes

Ronaldinho Barcelona T-Shirt | Players Couture Ronaldinho's standing ovation at the Bernabéu in November 2005 — given by Real Madrid supporters after he scored two goals against their own club in a manner that made resistance seem futile — is the clearest measure of what he was at that moment in his career. No Barcelona player had received a standing ovation at the Bernabéu before. No Madrid supporter wanted to clap for the opposition. But what Ronaldinho did that afternoon defied the usual categories. He simply could not be watched without appreciating it. His two seasons at the peak of his powers — 2004-05 and 2005-06 — produced consecutive Ballon d'Or awards and a Champions League title in 2006 that Ronaldinho drove through sheer force of creative will. The flip-flap, the no-look pass, the run from his own half that ended with a finish that looked casual and was actually the product of extraordinary spatial awareness — all of it combined in a player who made the game look like the thing it was always supposed to be. The Camp Nou gave him a standing ovation every week. They had earned it. If you're a Barcelona fan or looking for a gift for a Ronaldinho supporter, this Players Couture design captures him in the blaugrana in the Pantone-card illustration style. The t-shirt is made from 100% premium cotton with a regular unisex fit, available in White, Navy, Red, Black and Grey in sizes XS to 5XL. Every piece is made to order at our studio in Manchester — nothing is held in stock, so your order is produced fresh just for you.
