Ronnie moved by applause

Ronaldinho admits he will never forget being applauded by Real Madrid's fans.

Ronaldinho admits he will never forget being applauded by Real Madrid's fans during Barcelona's 3-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The Brazilian superstar produced a bewitching display as he virtually single-handedly destroyed the Galacticos of Real Madrid.

Ronaldinho scored twice in the 3-0 win, after Samuel Eto'o had fired Barca ahead, and the Real fans took the virtually unprecedented step of applauding the Samba star after he had netted a dazzling third goal.

The Brazilian, who feels Barca produced the 'perfect' performance, admits he was moved by the reaction from the Real faithful.

"For me it was a very emotional moment and I will never forget it because it isn't often opposition fans applaud you," he said.

"It isn't something that you expect to happen in your career. I didn't know that it had only happened here before with Maradona."
