Barcelona Sporting Director Deco is open from his largest La Blaugrana teammate ever from his shimmering gaming career.
The role of Deco in Barcelona focuses on bringing the best talent for the club, but the situation was reversed when he arrived in 2004.
The former midfielder played a crucial role in Porto's incredible UEFA Champions League victory under Jose Mourinho in 2003/04.
His excellent impressions in the heart of the Mourinho team convinced Frank Rijkaard to take him to Catalonia, where he won two La Liga crowns and another Champions League trophy.
Deco's first campaign in Barcelona also saw the turnout in the first team of an incredible La Masia talent with the name Lionel Messi.
Messi shot to the star row next to Deco, before the last one went to Chelsea in 2008, and Deco is a big fan of Barcelona's goat.
Countless Barcelona stars did not blink when mentioning Messi as their greatest teammate ever.
Although he was there for Messi's breakthrough, Deco had a different answer as part of an interview with the legendary former Brazil and Barcelona striker Romario.
“I played with the first versions of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo [with Portugal]. But if I had to choose, I would choose Ronaldinho, “according to Mundo Deportivo.
“Of those players I played in my career, Ronaldinho was the best. He had so many technical skills, it was just wow!
“He did things very differently than someone else. The most complete teammate I had, however, was Messi.”
Ronaldinho arrived the year before Deco in Barcelona and joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, after he had previously chosen a relocation of the French capital after winning the FIFA World Cup with Brazil in 2002.
The 47-year-old surprised the Camp Nou with 94 goals in 207 games before he chose to go to AC Milan in 2008.
