"?Las Palmas playmaker Kevin-Prince Boateng has recalled how Brazil legend Ronaldinho came into training at AC Milan promising teammates he would nutmeg them, before doing the deed more often than not.
That is, however, on the days that he wasn't absolutely smashed from the night before...which was rarely.
Ronaldinho joined Milan from Barcelona in 2008 before spending three seasons in Serie A. The final season he was united with Ghanaian international Kevin-Prince Boateng, who joined from English minnows Portsmouth in 2010.
The pair spent one season together at the San Siro and that was enough time for the Brazilian to leave a lasting impact on Boateng, with the latter claiming that Ronaldinho was better than 'Pele, Maradona and Zidane'.
But that's not all, he also revealed how Ronaldinho was the only player he's seen that could hit the crossbar three times in a row, and also that he had a knack for nutmegging his teammates in training.
"When we were there in the evening after sleeping well, Ronaldinho came to training and cited the names of the teammates he was going to nutmeg. And in the end, he did." Boateng told "?Fox Sports.

"Who's the best player I've ever played with? Ronaldinho no doubt...
"When he arrived at Milan he had no great desire or was tired and was no longer the Dinho of before. But what he wanted was for people to see that he was the best player in the world. More than Zidane, Pele and Maradona.
"He wanted to hit the crossbar three times and did it. We wondered how it was possible there was so much talent in one body. It was unbelievable."
