Age: 26

The Brazilian maestro can rightly lay claim to being the greatest player in the world at the moment.
The current holder of both the World and European player of the year awards will come into the tournament on the back of another breathtaking season for Barcelona, which has seen the Catalan side retain their Primera Liga title, as well as reaching the final of the Champions League.
Having won the World Cup in 2002 as the junior member of Brazil’s attacking trio, playing alongside Ronaldo and Rivaldo, Ronaldinho is now the man around whom the rest of the Brazilian team is built.
Dazzling footwork, unbelievable skills, vision, awareness and an eye for goal mark Ronaldinho down as the greatest player of his generation and if Brazil are to retain their trophy, the familiar grin of their playmaker will no doubt be the image of the tournament.
