Ronaldo talks about anger at leaving Barcelona and being part of Real Madrid's Galaticos


Brazil legend Ronaldo talks about his time in Spain, in particular his disappointment at effectively being let go by Barcelona before his return to LaLiga as a superstar in Real Madrid's 'Galaticos'.

Ronaldo, who is now majority owner at LaLiga club Real Valladolid, says he never wanted to leave Barcelona, and actually thought he was signing a new contract after a fantastic debut season at Camp Nou, only for the deal to dramatically fall through.

Barca paid a world record fee for Ronaldo, who responded with 47 goals in 49 games while playing at a level few had seen before, but he amazingly left for Inter Milan at the end of his one and only season in 1996/97 after the Italians matched his buyout clause.
