La Liga giants Barcelona have been slammed for their treatment of Brazilian legends Ronaldinho, Neymar, and others
Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo Nazario has slammed Barcelona for their treatment of the club's Brazilian legends over the years.
The two-time Ballon d'Or winner cited examples of Ronaldinho, Neymar, and himself as footballers who have been mistreated by the club.
Ronaldo spent just one season at the Camp Nou, a season that remains one of the greatest individual campaigns of any player in the club's history.
However, he was sold to Inter Milan in the same fashion that Ronaldinho was let go to aid the development of Lionel Messi.
Neymar was also sold for a world-record fee to Paris Saint-Germain after four seasons, as he sought to create his own path away from Messi's shadow.

Ronaldo slams Barcelona for treatment of Brazilian legends
Speaking to Eporte Interactivo, Ronaldo explained his reasoning, saying;
"In the end, my history with Barca was very bad, similar to the one Neymar had.
"Barcelona have always had issues with Brazilian players: Neymar, Romario, Ronaldinho and me. We were all treated badly by the club in the end, despite all our contributions and dedication.”
“Despite all that, Barcelona is an incredible city. But I feel more linked to Real Madrid, with whom I work as a club ambassador."
Ronaldo is widely regarded as the world's greatest striker, winning the World Cup twice with Brazil and multiple awards in hid career.
