How highly do you rate Ronaldinho's career as a whole

How do rate Ronaldinho's whole playing career? Thought his talent wise and overall performances dipped after winning 2005-06 CL final. Never was the same player though at times with his new club has shown his old skills... Thoughts and respected opinions?

Very highly, he won literally everything. He didnt have longeivity and winning over and over again so you cant put his CV against the best of the best. However, he won everything and played at a level hardly anyone can match and to me thats better than being "just" really good over a long time.

So to someone like me Iwould always take his career over someone like Giggs for example

What he lacked in longevity he made up for in quality. Pretty much reached the highest heights any footballer can ever hope to reach. His lifestyle will probably be a black spot on his otherwise glittering career but I agree with Dani in that I would take his career over someone like Giggs's (who is a legend in his own right).

"The candle the burns twice as bright burns out twice as fast."

That is my overall impression of Ronaldinho.
