The Karim Benzema story: From being banned from the France national team to winning the Ballon d'Or
Football
Ronaldinho is one of Brazil's greatest football exports and one of the best entertainers football has ever seen. Since announcing his retirement in 2015, his life has been mostly about entertainment and inspiration.
He shot to limelight with Paris Saint-Germain after joining the French club from Gremio. He spent two years in Paris before moving to La Liga with Barcelona.
At Barcelona, he lived to the full extent of his potential and won the UEFA Champions League and the 2005 Ballon d'Or, beating Chelsea legend Frank Lampard.
He was part of the Brazil squad that won the 2002 World Cup, one of the nine players to win the Mundial, UCL and Ballon d'Or, a list Lionel Messi joined last December.

He uploaded a picture of himself as a child playing football for day one and his photo with his Ballon d'Or as one day, showing a case of a dream fulfilled.
The former AC Milan star was in the mood for some throwback when he uploaded a photo on social media of him and Brazil teammates - Ronaldo Nazario, Adriano and Kaka.
The picture was from the round of 16 3-0 win over Ghana. The Samba boys' adventure ended in the quarter-final, where they lost 1-0 to France, championed by Zinedine Zidane.
