“The [Barcelona] team after his were known as the better ones, when Messi really came through, but Ronaldinho could do impossible things with the ball,” Lampard told Chelsea’s matchday programme.

“I’d never seen a player like that. It was my early knockings in the Champions League and seeing him play was like, ‘Wow, this player is from a different planet to the rest of us’.”

Frank’s Chelsea faced Ronaldinho’s Barcelona six times between 2005 and 2008 – with both teams winning two games, losing two and two draws.
