What years did Ronaldinho play with Barcelona?

The story behind the answer

Ronaldinho played for Barcelona from 2003 to 2008. The Brazilian attacking midfielder joined the Catalan club after leaving Paris Saint-Germain and spent five seasons there, becoming one of football's defining stars of the early 2000s.

He helped Barcelona win La Liga in 2004–05 and 2005–06, and played a central role in the club's 2005–06 UEFA Champions League triumph. His dribbling, creativity, passing, and ability to score spectacular goals made him a global favorite and helped restore Barcelona's confidence and international profile.

Ronaldinho also won the 2005 Ballon d'Or during his Barcelona peak. In the 2005–06 season, he famously scored twice against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, earning a standing ovation from the home supporters.

His final Barcelona season, 2007–08, was disrupted by injuries and declining form. He left in 2008 to join AC Milan. The date range refers to his Barcelona career, not the seasons in which he won individual awards.
