  • Ronaldinho singled out Liverpool as the team he enjoys watching the most in the Premier League
  • The Brazilian was also team Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League final on May 28, but the Reds lost out to Real Madrid
  • Sadly, the 42-year old never got to grace the Premier League in his playing days before retirement

Ronaldinho has named Liverpool as the club that he enjoys following the most in the Premier League.

The Brazilian, who has never played in the Premier League during his time as a footballer, singled out Jurgen Klopp’s side as his favorite to watch because of their attacking style of play.

While admitting that it was difficult to choose only one team among the 20 top flight English sides, the 42-year old, who was a serial winner during his time as a player, said Liverpool slightly edged the others in terms of excitement.

"It is hard to choose just one. I think each club has a great player that I like watching, but I think the attacking players for Liverpool are the players that I currently really like watching." The 2005 Ballon d’Or winner told JOE.

To be fair, Ronaldinho might have a point, as Liverpool has been one of the entertainers in the Premier League in the past few seasons.

Along with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Liverpool have been embroiled in a thrilling battle for supremacy in England, and they narrowly missed out on the Premier League title last season, coming only a point behind Manchester City.

Jurgen Klopp’s side however managed the domestic double, winning the Carabao Cup and FA Cup, both times on penalties at the expense of Chelsea.

Ronaldinho’s career

As a football player, Ronaldinho is widely regarded as one of the most entertaining stars in the history of the sport.

Primarily playing in attacking midfield, the Brazilian scored 299 goals in total for both club and country before retiring in 2018.

He also belongs to an elite selection of players to have won the Ballon d’or, Champions League and the World Cup.

In a video posted on Twitter, sighted by Sports Brief, a visibly unhappy Samuel Eto'o took a swipe at the players for their wastefulness while threatening the replace the current crop with 'children'.
