Mikel Arteta believes Ronaldinho is the only player in history who has single-handedly transformed two clubs in Barcelona and PSG
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are preparing to face PSG in the Champions League on Tuesday Mikel Arteta believes Ronaldinho is the only player in history who has single-handedly transformed two clubs in Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain. Ronaldinho joined PSG from Brazilian side Gremio in 2001 and spent just two years in France before Barcelona beat Manchester United to his £21 million signature in the summer of 2003.
Mikel Arteta says Ronaldinho was a ‘huge talent’ ‘He’s the only player that I have seen in history that could transform, by himself, two clubs. He did it in Paris, he transformed them, he went to Barcelona in one of their worst moments and transformed them. ‘He had an aura, an energy, a smile on his face. It was impossible to be next to him and be in a bad mood.’ Arteta also insists he had no issue in sharing a room with Ronaldinho after he arrived from Brazil at the age of 20.
