Brazil's Ronaldinho was named yesterday as winner of the Golden Foot award for best player over 29 years

In the final vote, the Blaugrana overcame rossonero Henry, Raul and Real Madrid Bianconeri Buffon. At least, Dinho received good news in full downhill football.

Also included as initial candidates the English star David Beckham and Steven Gerrard, the Welshman Ryan Giggs, Italy's Francesco Totti, Frenchman David Trezeguet and Portugal's Luis Figo, who did not achieve the number of votes required to be between the four finalists.
