On March 8, 2005, in the Champions League round-of-16 second leg, Barcelona lost 4-2 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea advancing 5-4 on aggregate after a 2-1 first-leg defeat. Ronaldinho's jaw-dropping dead-ball strike from 35 yards silenced the home crowd, following his earlier penalty goal, though Chelsea responded with strikes from Eidur Gudjohnsen, Frank Lampard, Damien Duff, and John Terry. Fans who saw it live called it magical, with one behind the goal naming it the best ever witnessed, while others marveled at the technique and shared playground memories of kids trying to copy it. The clip revives nostalgia for Ronaldinho's flair, even as some gripe about modern football lacking that pure showmanship.
