Dinho is more iconic as you say. He is the symbol of the rise of Barca from 2004-06.
Dinho would still shine in modern game though.

Yeah of course he would still be a top player but just think Rivaldo more suited and was more effective at his peak.
Rivaldo in modern football. Now there's a thought. Such an underrated player (outside of Barcelona) being part of the Ronaldo->Ronaldinho generation, but kind of stuck in between them mediatically and part of one of the worst Barcelona periods. Well, despite the Figo-Rivaldo-Kluivert trio which lacked a balanced team as 433 wasn't really a thing back then.
I think if Ronaldinho kept his game mentally then he is the better player. Unbelievable on his day.
Giovanni was another player I really liked from that era but more as a cult hero. Nowhere near the level of the other too obv.

Giovanni the forgotten number 10.

[Offtopic] There was nothing exciting about the 00' era ! [/Offtopic]
To get back to Dembele, Laporta saying "we think he already have an agreement with another club to leave for free in the summer" is the ultimate proof this guy is an idiot.
Of course he has !! wtf is wrong with this board !

Rivaldo is the reason I fell in love with Barca. I don't feel like he doesn't get his flowers, mostly in part that, as mentioned by other users, Barca was terrible in his time.

Wouldn't call it terrible, we won 2 La Ligas in a row, but Van Gaal installed a foreign Ajax based system at the club and had clashes with Rivaldo on his position.
The worst president of Barca( after Bartomeu) has the courage to speak.
He s not better than Ronaldinho. In any way. More talented? Ronaldinho. More spectacular? Ronaldinho. Elevated Barcelona like no other? Ronaldinho. People have to understand that before Ronaldinho( plus Eto'o, Deco etc.), Barca was synonimous with losers for a good period of time.

Did I wrote 'better'? Meant to say above as in i preferred him over Ronaldinho.
I also liked Ronaldinho and he had his glorious moments. Just a personal preference.
[MENTION=10798]Androutsos[/MENTION] said he fell in love with Barcelona because of Rivaldo. I fell in love with Barcelona because of R9 and stayed for Rivaldo.

I felt Rivaldo in his peak was unstoppable, sheer power, determination, way he played, force he showed, always seemed like he was alone against the whole team and needed no one. I was young back then so I risk sounding nostalgic but he was unbelievable.
Others are higher than him because of their longevity but speaking of peaks? For me, he's up there with the very best. Some of the best performances in football history are tied to his name.

Rivaldo is the underrated goat
Yes, Rivaldo is an unsunged GOAT. Never really warmed to him tbh. Then again, i always prefer flair. I agree he was a fantastic footballer though, and every man has his tastes. I just prefer flashier players. And Ronaldinho wasn't just flash. I think people underrate him a bit today. He had all, Strenght, balance, speed, tricks and a mean shot. He's only remembered for his tricks,but man that guy could strike a ball.
