That's the most nana-maron-based player, Ronaldo, brilliantly summarized at the 1996 Olympics.

The 1996 Olympics were the best football fans have ever seen in this competition.

All right, we might be blowing it up a little bit, but it was just a golden period for football, with lots of world stars and fantastic talents.

Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Diego Simeone, Roberto Ayala, Roberto Carlos, Hernan Crespo, Robert Péres, Gianligi Buffon, Alessandro Nesta, Fabio Cannavaro, and Raul were some of the players who participated.

But none of them won the trophy in the end.

Suddenly, Nigeria led by Nwankwo Kanu triumphed.

The Kanu scored three goals during the competition, including one in the 90th minute and one in 94th, which was also the “Goli Golden”, to beat Brazil in the semifinals.

For Brazil he played “O Fenomeno”, which would later turn into the best 9 he's ever seen in sports.

But how talented was Ronaldo Brazilian in 1996, when he was only 19 years old?

Well, fortunately for us, a summary has been published on Twitter that shows how extraordinary he was back then.

We remember that just a month later Barcelona transferred it for $19.5m. /Periscope. com/

How have I not seen this before? R9 playing for Brazil at the 96 Olympics.

Had Ronaldinho (Little Ronald) on his shirt as there was a more senior player in the Square also called Ronaldo.

No rallying on Fenomeno in action. Still an absolute boss.
