VIDEO: Messi and Ronaldinho, the top free-kick masters

As the coronavirus leaves us without football for a little while longer, we take a look at some of the most impressive goals, players and teams in recent times.

Perhaps two of the most legendary players in recent years are Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho, and their time together at Barcelona is often fondly remembered as the star handing the baton to the next generation. 

Indeed, Ronaldinho has often said the Lionel Messi was already a better player than he ever was. From the time that coach Frank Rijkaard gave the Argentine his first team debut against Espanyol in October 2004 until the Brazilian’s final game for the blaugranes in March 2008, the two formed a lethal partnership in the more than three years they shared a dressing room.

Here are the best free-kicks from the two living legends.
